Owning Your Learning
Grade 6 problems reward persistence and organisation. When work gets hard, strong learners manage stress, keep trying different approaches, and treat mistakes as information.
The mathematical processes:
- Problem solving — select, apply, and adjust strategies.
- Reasoning and proving — build a convincing argument.
- Representing and connecting — link concrete, visual, and symbolic forms.
- Communicating and reflecting — explain your thinking and evaluate it.
Setting a goal and checking your progress against it keeps long problems on track.
