Competence-Based Curriculum (Rwanda Basic Education Board): Mathematics, Primary 6
0 of 12 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI
1. NUMBERS · OPERATIONS ON WHOLE NUMBERS
- Reading and writing numbers (age 9+): Read, write, order, and compare whole numbers up to at least 1,000,000 using base-ten numerals, number names, expanded form, and place-value understanding
2. NUMBERS · TYPES OF NUMBERS, FACTORS AND MULTIPLES AND OPERATIONS
- Factors, multiples, and primes (age 11+): Use the concepts and vocabulary of prime numbers, factors, multiples, common factors, common multiples, highest common factor (HCF), lowest common multiple (LCM), and prime factorisation including product notation and the unique factorisation property
3. FRACTIONS, DECIMALS AND PROPORTIONAL REASONING · OPERATIONS ON FRACTIONS
- Real-world fraction multiplication: Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, using visual fraction models or equations
4. FRACTIONS, DECIMALS AND PROPORTIONAL REASONING · RATIOS AND PERCENTAGES
- Percentages (age 9+): Know and use the vocabulary of ratio and proportion — ratio, proportion, percentage, scale, equivalent, unequal, relative size, part-to-part, part-to-whole, and out of — and understand the difference between ratio (comparing parts to parts) and proportion (comparing a part to the whole)
5. MEASUREMENT · CAPACITY, MASS AND VOLUME
- Unit Conversions: Convert freely between related standard units of measurement (time, length, area, volume/capacity, mass) using decimal notation to up to three decimal places where appropriate
6. MEASUREMENTS · TIME
- Compound Units: Use compound units such as speed (distance ÷ time), unit pricing (cost ÷ quantity), and density (mass ÷ volume); solve problems involving compound units
7. ALGEBRA · NUMBER SEQUENCES
- Algebraic Notation: Use and interpret algebraic notation including: ab for a × b, 3y for y + y + y, a² for a × a, a/b for a ÷ b, coefficients as fractions, and brackets for grouping; read and write algebraic expressions fluently
8. GEOMETRY · LINES AND ANGLES
- Types of angles (age 11+): Use conventional geometric terms and notation to describe, sketch, and draw points, lines, parallel and perpendicular lines, right angles, regular polygons, and reflectively/rotationally symmetric polygons
9. GEOMETRY · 2D AND 3D SHAPES AND PROPERTIES
- 3-D shapes (age 11+): Use the properties of faces, surfaces, edges, and vertices of 3-D shapes (cubes, cuboids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres) to solve problems, including visualising cross-sections
10. GEOMETRY · MEASUREMENTS OF 2D AND 3D SHAPES
- Circles: Circumference & Area: Calculate the circumference and area of circles using the formulae C = πd (or 2πr) and A = πr², and solve problems involving perimeters and areas of composite shapes that include circular parts
11. STATISTICS · COLLECTING, EXPLORING AND INTERPRETATING ELEMENTARY PROBABILITY DATA
- Experimental probability: Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability
12. STATISTICS · PROBABILITY OF EVENTS/EXPERIMENTS ELEMENTARY PROBABILITY
- Ordering Likelihoods: Compare the likelihood of different events and order them from least to most likely — including situations with unequal outcomes such as a bag with more of one colour than another, or a spinner with sections of different sizes — and explain reasoning using informal language
