PEI EMA Grade 6 study plan

Annotate two Grade 6 informational or narrative passages per session, marking main idea, two supporting details, and two quotable pieces of text evidence.

Summarize each annotated passage in three sentences from memory, then check against the text and correct gaps.

Compute multi-digit multiplication and long division with two-digit divisors, targeting 80% accuracy on a 20-item set.

Apply order of operations (brackets, exponents, multiply/divide before add/subtract) to 15 mixed expressions and explain each step aloud.

Estimate products and quotients before calculating, then compare the estimate to the exact answer to catch place-value errors.

Identify and explain how authors organize texts (compare-contrast, cause-effect, problem-solution, sequence) across four short texts.

Distinguish fact from opinion and state the author's purpose and intended audience for three persuasive texts.

Draft a five-paragraph informative piece with a clear thesis, three organized body paragraphs, and a concluding statement.

Revise one draft for transitions, precise vocabulary, and sentence variety using a self-made checklist.

Edit for capitalization, commas in a series, and subject-verb agreement, marking every correction in a different colour.

Write a four-paragraph opinion piece that states a claim and supports it with three reasons, each backed by evidence or an example.

Convert fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents for 20 given values without a calculator.

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions and mixed numbers, simplifying every answer and showing the intermediate step.

Solve 10 multi-step word problems involving fractions and justify in writing why each operation was chosen.

Use a planning graphic organizer before writing to sequence claim, reasons, and counterpoint.

Find greatest common factors and least common multiples, and use them to simplify and compare fractions.

Generate and extend numeric patterns, then state the rule in words and as an expression such as 3n + 2.

Evaluate algebraic expressions for given values of one and two variables, including expressions with exponents.

Solve one-step and two-step equations and verify each solution by substitution.

Translate 10 word problems into equations, solve them, and label the answer with correct units.

Classify angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight, and calculate missing angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.

Calculate the area of triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and composite shapes by decomposing them into known figures.

Compute the volume of rectangular prisms and solve problems requiring a missing dimension.

Convert within the metric system (mm-cm-m-km, mL-L, g-kg) and apply conversions inside multi-step word problems.

Plot and name ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane and describe the distance between two points on the same axis.

Compute mean, median, mode, and range for five data sets and explain in writing which measure best represents each set.

Read and construct bar graphs, line graphs, and line plots from raw data, selecting a sensible scale and labelling both axes.

Express simple probabilities as fractions, decimals, and percents, and predict the likely outcome of repeated trials.

Solve elapsed-time problems and real-world perimeter and area problems involving money or fencing contexts.

Interpret misleading or incomplete graphs and state what information is missing.

Answer inference and text-evidence questions on two longer passages within 12 minutes each, citing the paragraph used.

Deliver a three-minute spoken summary of a text with a clear main idea, two supporting details, and a concluding sentence, recorded for self-review.

Listen to a recorded passage once and take notes capturing the main idea and three supporting details, then answer five questions from the notes alone.

Re-teach the two weakest domains identified in the practice test, writing a summary sheet and five practice items for each.

Complete two full-length timed practice tests under exam conditions, including a quiet room and no notes.

Review every missed item and rewrite the correct reasoning in an error log, tagging each error as content gap, misread question, or time pressure.

Re-drill 30 items from the weakest tagged topics until reaching 90% accuracy.

Rehearse test-day pacing: allocate minutes per section, flag hard items, and return to them at the end.

Recite formulas and reading strategies from a single-page cheat sheet without looking, three days running.
