The Ethiopian Grade 6 Old Curriculum Mathematics textbook has 6 chapters. They are:
- Unit 1: Basic Concepts of Set
- Unit 2: The Divisibility of Whole Numbers
- Unit 3: Fractions and Decimals
- Unit 4: Integers
- Unit 5: Linear Equations, Linear Inequalities, and Proportionality
- Unit 6: Geometry and Measurement
Let see the overview of each unit:
Unit 1: Basic Concepts of Set
This unit introduces students to the language of sets, including elements, subsets, union, intersection, and Venn diagrams. These concepts lay the groundwork for logical reasoning in higher mathematics.
Unit 2: The Divisibility of Whole Numbers
Students explore divisibility rules, identify prime and composite numbers, and calculate HCF and LCM. The unit supports problem-solving and number sense development.
Unit 3: Fractions and Decimals
Covers operations with fractions and decimals, including simplification, conversion between forms, and solving word problems involving fractional quantities.
Unit 4: Integers
Introduces positive and negative numbers and their placement on a number line. Students practice comparing, adding, and subtracting integers with real-life examples.
Unit 5: Linear Equations, Linear Inequalities, and Proportionality
This unit teaches how to solve simple linear equations and inequalities, use coordinate points, and understand proportional relationships in mathematics and daily life.
Unit 6: Geometry and Measurement
Students learn about different types of angles, triangle construction, congruency, and basic measurement skills. Activities involve hands-on drawing and geometric reasoning.
