A complete 14-day unit for Grade 6 Number System, grounded in the School Garden Plot scenario. Every lesson connects to the same authentic context, so students see how 6.NS skills work together instead of as disconnected topics.

Every lesson connects to the class designing the school garden — splitting compost across rows, calculating seed costs, scheduling watering, mapping plots on a coordinate grid. Fraction division for sharing, decimals for prices, GCF/LCM for arrangement and cycles, integers and the coordinate plane for the garden map. Students see the math in context. The 12th lesson and summative performance task bring it all together.
