Our math topics for 6th grade learners are designed to follow closely the Common Core standards for math for 6th grade pupils.
The math curriculum for geometry and measures for students aged 11 to 12 typically covers a wide range of concepts and skills related to geometric shapes, spatial reasoning, and measurement. Here are some key aspects of the math curriculum for geometry and measures for students aged 11 to 12:
Geometric Shapes: Students learn about different geometric shapes such as triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and 3D shapes. They explore their properties, including sides, angles, diagonals, symmetry, and identify examples of each shape in real-world contexts.
Lines and Angles: Students study lines, line segments, and rays, as well as their properties and relationships. They learn about different types of angles (acute, obtuse, right, straight) and explore angle relationships such as adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles.
Symmetry: Students learn about symmetry and identify symmetrical shapes and patterns. They explore lines of symmetry, mirror symmetry, and rotational symmetry. They create symmetrical designs and shapes using different tools and techniques.
Transformations: Students explore basic transformations such as translations, reflections, and rotations. They understand how these transformations affect the position, orientation, and shape of geometric figures. They also identify and create patterns using transformations.
Measurement of Length, Area, and Perimeter: Students learn to measure and compare lengths using standard units. They explore the concepts of area and perimeter and learn to calculate them for different shapes, including rectangles, squares, triangles, and composite figures.
Measurement of Volume and Capacity: Students explore the concept of volume and learn to measure and compare volumes of 3D objects such as cubes, rectangular prisms, and cylinders. They also learn about capacity and how to compare and convert units of capacity.
Time and Timetables: Students learn to read and interpret analog and digital clocks. They understand the concepts of seconds, minutes, and hours, and how to use them to measure time intervals. They also work with timetables and solve problems involving time calculations and schedules.
Conversions: Students develop skills in converting between different units of measurement, such as length (meters, centimeters), mass (grams, kilograms), and capacity (liters, milliliters). They solve problems involving measurement conversions in real-world scenarios.
Estimation and Approximation: Students practice estimation and approximation skills in the context of measurements. They learn to make reasonable estimates for lengths, areas, volumes, and other measurements, and use these estimates to solve problems.
Geometric Reasoning and Problem-Solving: Students apply their geometric knowledge and reasoning skills to solve problems. They analyze and solve problems involving angles, shapes, symmetry, transformations, and measurements. They also engage in spatial reasoning activities to visualize and manipulate objects in 2D and 3D space.
Throughout the curriculum, students engage in hands-on activities, visual representations, and real-world applications to deepen their understanding of geometry and measurement. They develop their skills in critical thinking, logical reasoning, and using mathematical language and notation to communicate their ideas effectively.

A topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Free Math Games and will be remembered when you move between games or activities. The math for the topic is carefully constructed to match the level of difficulty taught in US schools. This means that you as a secondary pupil should see similar math problems to those you are seeing at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject. Please let us know if that is not the case.
See the help box below for instructions on choosing a topic here at Free Math Games.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this Secondary level topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topics are divided up:
Since you are currently within the Secondary section of Free Math Games you will see the Secondary topics. The Secondary grades will have loaded. Choose your grade. The broad categories available will load. Click on a category to see the available sub-categories and topics.
For example, if you choose 7th grade, then the category: "Algebra" and the sub-category "Sequences" you will be offered a choice of sub-sub-categories and topics suitable for your school grade - in the case of this example, "Generating terms" and "nth term expressions". Click on each sub-sub-category to view the available topics.
When you click on the name of a topic, the topic will load into the lesson page (once a topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be downloaded again) and the lesson start page will be displayed. You can choose to do the lesson or jump immediately to the games using that topic.
