This world is designed to support Grade 6 Ontario mathematics exploration of topics covered in the 2020 curriculum for Number - Operations:
Students will:
1. Enter the world individually or in groups and speak to the Get Started NPC to receive a camera, portfolio, and book&quill.
2. Explore the three roads of representation and use a documentation method of their choice to answer the questions posed by the signs and NPCs.
3. Share their answers with the class or teacher, as directed.
4. Create one or more visual or artistic representations and use signs to describe their creation(s) in terms of fractions & percent.
5. Create at least one ratio model and use signs to describe each part of the ratio shown.
6. Document their creative and math thinking using the camera & portfolio and export to share where directed.
Extension Option:
Challenge students to calculate and model a variety of "percent of number" problems focusing on 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, and 50%.
