Grade 6 Geometry Complete Unit | 12 Lessons | 6.G

A complete 14-day unit for Grade 6 Geometry, grounded in the Schoolyard Garden Build scenario. Every lesson connects to the same authentic context, so students see how 6.G skills work together instead of as disconnected topics.

Every lesson connects to the class designing and building a schoolyard garden - finding areas for paving and grass, plotting beds on a coordinate plane, computing volume for soil and compost, building storage boxes from nets, calculating surface area for paint. Students see how Geometry skills come together to solve a real construction challenge. The 12th lesson and summative performance task bring it all together.
