About this resource
What's inside this resource
Week by week, this 6th grade curriculum map plans 36 instructional weeks of English, math, science and social studies. It holds 144 weekly goals, one per subject each week, and every goal comes with an evidence prompt: a labeled ratio diagram, an annotated passage, a model of particle motion or a sourced timeline. The goals are grouped into four-week units, such as dividing fractions, ratios and rates, cells and body systems, thermal energy, and early river societies.
The Excel workbook does the heavy lifting. Year Map links each unit to Weekly Plans, so changing a goal updates the overview. Unit Plans holds revisit notes, Coverage Audit tracks the grade 6 English and math expectations, Science Band shows which middle school science expectations this year covers, and Local and Sources keeps your social studies choices and reference notes. The 16-page PDF is a readable copy of all 144 goals for printing or team planning.
- Grade 6: English, math, science and social studies in 36 four-week units
- 16 PDF pages: overview, reference notes, three pages per subject, recurring routines and a coverage page with lines for three local decisions
- Three files: a full-color PDF, a print-friendly black and white PDF and an editable Excel workbook (.xlsx) you can adapt
