6th Grade Spiral Review: Ratios, Geometry, Expressions

Need an end of year review for math 6? Looking to connect with your kids over their favorite video game? Try this unofficial Minecraft project-based learning activity where students go on an adventure — and use their math skills to craft armor, build a house, and find the mystery coordinates.

What skills does it cover? This end of year review activity includes math 6 tasks:

• Task 1: Craft Armor (Equivalent Ratios) If it takes 3 Lapis Lazuli and 1 Diamond Helmet to create an Enchanted Diamond Helmet, how many Lapis Lazuli will it take to create 3 Enchanted Diamond Helmets?

• Task 2: Build a House (Surface Area and Volume) If each glass square block costs $4.50, how much would it cost to build the glass window that is 5 blocks by 2 blocks?

• Task 3: Find Mystery Coordinates (Solving Expressions) Students will be asked to evaluate expressions based on order of operations to find the coordinates of the ancient items. For example: Evaluate 45 ÷ (12 - 3) - 12/4 + (55 - 12 x
