Grade 6 is the bridge year — ratios, bigger ideas in science, and the expectations that set up intermediate school. Here is the year as Ontario schools actually teach it — unit by unit, in order — so you can see what your child is working on right now, and what's coming next.
Ontario math runs as a sequence: each unit builds on the one before it. The week ranges below follow the school year from September; teachers vary pacing.
Whole numbers to millions; an introduction to integers and the number line.
Operations with fractions and decimals; percents, ratios and rates.
Worth watching: ratios are the first math where reading the problem matters more than the arithmetic — slow, careful setups now pay off for years.
Multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers and decimals; order of operations.
Worth watching: ratios are the first math where reading the problem matters more than the arithmetic — slow, careful setups now pay off for years.
Patterns and relationships; algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities.
Angle properties; properties of polygons; surface area and nets of 3D figures.
Metric conversions; area and surface area; data, mean/median/mode, and probability.
Budgeting, simple interest concepts, and comparing financial choices.
In a class of 24 students, the ratio of girls to boys is 1:2. How many girls are in the class?
Biodiversity, its contributions to the stability of natural systems, and its benefits to humans.
The principles of electrical energy and its transformation into and from other forms of energy.
The ways in which properties of air can be applied to the principles of flight and flying machines.
The solar system, the phenomena that result from the movement of different bodies within it, and the technologies used in space exploration.
The Sun looks much bigger than every other star. Why?
Communities in Canada past and present — diversity, immigration, and the heritage of different groups.
Canada's interactions with the global community, including trade, aid, and global issues.
Unlike math and science, the language curriculum isn't taught as a sequence of units — it's a set of skills that deepen all year: reading comprehension and inference, writing structure and conventions, vocabulary, and oral communication. French works the same way. Homework Hub practises these as grade-matched weekly skills — a reading passage with real comprehension questions, a sentence to fix, a short prompt to write to — rather than pretending there's a unit list.
Homework Hub generates fresh questions matched to these very units — in season, at your child's level, marked with hints that teach. You set the days; it does the rest.

School boards and teachers vary pacing — week ranges are a typical rhythm, not a rule.
