Oxford Mathematics Student Book A Grade 6 is part of the new reformed mathematics program designed and written for use in grade 6 classes in Community and Primary schools throughout Papua New Guinea. It is accompanied by Grade 6 Mathematics Teacher Book. Both replace the MACS series now in use.
In the mathematics program, students are first taught mathematics by using real objects. Later, the students will use pictures of objects. Finally, the students will use number symbols to represent these objects. Always allow your students to use real objects during their mathematics lessons if they want to. Teach the concepts in the context of real-life situations as this leads to an appreciation of the everyday use of mathematics skills and knowledge, The students will decide when they do not need the help of real objects any longer. Remember, when students use real objects, they will understand mathematics better. This program also encourages the students to solve their own problems and make their own decisions with confidence. In order to learn these skills, the students should talk about what they are going through in every lesson. Since learning is most effective when it has meaning and is enjoyable, allow the students to use the language that they are most comfortable with.
