Back to School Math Review for Grade 6

This math resource allows 6th grade students to review concepts from the previous year in an engaging way on the first days back at school. Titled "Find Someone Who," it is a matching game where learners must find a classmate who can solve one math word problem printed on their worksheet. With two 16-problem versions, topics span the 5th grade curriculum like fractions, decimals, measurement, geometry, and more. Students will check each other's work and gain familiarity with new classmates while jogging memory on math skills learned in the prior year. Use for individual practice, partner work or a whole class icebreaker. Answer keys are included to support students in verifying solutions. This social activity puts a fun twist on math review.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Multiply fractions and subtract fractional distances

Teaching tips

  • Designate ahead of time which half of the class starts seated and which half circulates, as the directions page suggests, to prevent classroom chaos

  • Remind students explicitly to be kind and respectful when correcting a partner's work, since the activity relies on peer checking

  • Use the two versions on separate days, or split the class so seatmates aren't working from an identical answer set
