6th Grade Spring Break Math Activities
Instructions
Indiana’s College- and Career-Ready Academic Standards 2014 include one or more math fluency
standards per grade level in Grades 1-8. Fluency will be assessed on the 2015 ISTEP+ with a short
test (ten minutes or less) at the beginning of Part 2 in April/May.
The fluency standards for 6th Grade are:
6.C.1: Divide multi-digit whole numbers fluently using a standard algorithmic approach.
6.C.2: Compute with positive fractions and positive decimals fluently using a standard algorithmic approach.
6.AF.5: Solve equations of the form x + p = q and px = q fluently for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative
rational numbers. Represent real world problems using equations of these forms and solve such problems.
The selected activities for Spring Break 2015 are aligned to the 6th Grade fluency standards. Please
select one or more for your student.
 Multiplication and Division Grid Puzzles
o Students will study one grid at a time to determine a good starting point based on
missing numbers and symbols in the equations. When completed, each of the six
multiplication and division equations per grid must be true.
o Students may complete the puzzles independently or with a partner.
o Product to turn in on April 6, 2015: completed grids
 Multiplication and Division of Fractions Dominoes
o Students will cut the dominoes apart on the lines to create 16 pieces.
o Students will reassemble the pieces so that each expression matches up with its correct
answer.
o Students may complete the puzzles independently or with a partner.
o Product to turn in on April 6, 2015: completed puzzle(s) attached to a separate sheet of
paper
 Decimal Maze
o Starting with 100, students will trace a path through the maze, completing the
computation as they pass it. The goal is to determine the path that has the highest
result at the end.
o Students will trace four different paths, recording each computation.
o Product to be turned in on April 6, 2015: paper listing each computation based on the
four paths through the maze
 Fraction Shuffle
o Students will use the given numbers to solve each addition and subtraction problem.
o Product to be turned in on April 6, 2015: completed addition and subtraction problems
 Solving Equations Maze
o Students will trace a path through the maze by solving each equation they encounter.
The correct answer leads them to the next equation.
o Product to be turned in on April 6, 2015: completed maze

Decimal Maze
Move down or sideways (never up) through the maze from Start to Finish. You may not retrace any steps.
Begin with a value of 100. As you cross a segment, perform the indicated operation.
The goal is to choose a path that results in the largest value when you reach Finish.
