By Grade Six, children are ready for more. They’re reading books they can’t wait to talk about, writing stories and reports with lots of detail, and tackling math with growing confidence. They’re curious about how things work and love diving into interesting topics. It’s such a fun age to homeschool, but finding resources that keep learning enjoyable (without adding hours of prep!) can still be a challenge.
That’s where the Grade Six Complete Curriculum comes in!
Instead of piecing together multiple programs, this complete bundle gives you everything you need for a full year of homeschooling. It includes a 36-week Grade Six Math Curriculum, a 36-week Grade Six Language Arts Curriculum, and 10 hands-on Family Unit Studies. Together, these resources create a balanced homeschool experience that’s simple to follow and fun to explore.
I’ve always believed children learn best when they have time to think, discover, and enjoy the learning process. That’s why we keep lessons short and focused. One page a day is enough to introduce new concepts while still leaving time for hands-on projects, family discussions, creative activities, and all of the experiences that make homeschooling so rewarding.
Today, I’ll take you inside the complete Grade Six curriculum and show you exactly what your child will learn throughout the year.

Let’s take a closer look at each part of the curriculum.
Grade Six Math Curriculum
Math in Grade Six builds on the strong foundation children have already developed. They explore fractions, decimals, ratios, algebra, geometry, data, and financial literacy while learning new ways to solve problems and explain their thinking. Along the way, they discover patterns, make real-world connections, and build confidence as they learn new skills.
What makes the How Wee Learn Grade Six Math Curriculum different?
Our Grade Six Math Curriculum helps children understand math concepts instead of simply memorizing procedures. Using our one-page-a-day, quality-over-quantity approach, each lesson is short, focused, and easy to fit into your homeschool day.
One of the features parents love most is our cyclical approach to learning. Instead of teaching a concept once and moving on, important skills are revisited throughout the year. This gives children multiple opportunities to practice, strengthen, and apply math concepts, helping new skills stick.
Beyond the daily lessons, the curriculum also includes optional hands-on learning ideas for each math strand. Children play math games, create patterns, experiment with coding, collect and graph real-world data, explore geometry through art and design, and build financial literacy with everyday money activities. These simple extensions provide fun ways to reinforce new concepts beyond the workbook whenever your child is ready for more.
Best of all, the Grade Six Math Curriculum meets or exceeds all core standards for both Canadian and U.S. Grade Six homeschooling families, giving you peace of mind that your child is building the skills they need.
What skills are covered in the Grade Six Math Curriculum?
Throughout the 36-week curriculum, children build skills across all five essential strands of mathematics:
- ✅ Number Sense: Work with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, percentages, multiplication and division, mental math, estimation, and multi-step problem solving while developing flexible strategies for working with numbers.
- ✅ Algebra: Explore patterns, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, variables, and introductory coding while building logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- ✅ Data: Collect, organize, display, and interpret data using a variety of graphs while exploring probability, comparing data sets, and drawing conclusions from real-world information.
- ✅ Spatial Sense: Investigate geometry through coordinate grids, transformations, angles, area, volume, measurement, and spatial reasoning while solving real-world problems.
- ✅ Financial Literacy: Develop practical money skills by exploring financial goals, saving, borrowing, different payment methods, interest, and making thoughtful financial decisions.
The curriculum also includes printable math tools, extra practice activities, an answer key, and a course completion certificate to support your child throughout the year.
Grade Six Language Arts Curriculum
By Grade Six, children are ready to take their reading and writing even further. They explore a wide variety of texts, consider an author’s message and purpose, and support their ideas with evidence from their reading. As writers, they plan, organize, and revise their work while learning to write for different purposes and audiences with growing confidence.
What makes the How Wee Learn Grade Six Language Arts Curriculum different?
Our Grade Six Language Arts Curriculum helps children strengthen their reading and writing skills through short, one-page-a-day lessons that fit naturally into your homeschool routine. Rather than assigning lengthy activities, each lesson focuses on one skill at a time. This gives children the opportunity to practice, reflect, and make steady progress throughout the year.
Like all of our curricula, Grade Six Language Arts follows our quality-over-quantity philosophy. Skills are introduced gradually and revisited throughout the year, giving children plenty of opportunities to practice, apply, and build on what they’ve learned without feeling rushed.
One feature families especially appreciate is the curriculum’s predictable four-week rhythm. The course is divided into nine themes, with each theme spanning four weeks:
- Week One: Fiction Reading
- Week Two: Non-Fiction Reading
- Week Three: Fiction Writing
- Week Four: Non-Fiction Writing
This simple routine helps children develop reading and writing skills while working with a wide variety of texts and writing styles throughout the year.
What skills are covered in the Grade Six Language Arts Curriculum?
Throughout the 36-week curriculum, children continue building literacy skills they’ll use for years to come, including:
- ✅ Reading: Fiction and non-fiction comprehension, vocabulary development, summarizing, identifying an author’s purpose and message, analyzing different perspectives, thinking critically about what they read, and using evidence to support their ideas.
- ✅ Writing: Grammar, sentence and paragraph organization, planning, researching, note-taking, persuasive writing, fiction and non-fiction writing, proofreading, editing, and writing for a variety of purposes and audiences.
- ✅ Media Literacy: Locating information from digital sources, using online resources safely and responsibly, recognizing perspective and intention in media, thinking critically about online information, and creating digital content for a variety of purposes.
- ✅ And more! Graphic organizers, journaling, writing organization, editing practice, research activities, and opportunities for reflection give children regular practice while introducing a nice variety of activities throughout the year.
Curriculum expectations are also included, showing how the program meets or exceeds all core standards for Grade Six, along with an answer key and a course completion certificate.

But first… what exactly is a Family Unit Study?
Each Unit Study explores one theme through 10 bite-sized learning topics. Each topic is designed to take about 1-2 hours, giving your family the flexibility to learn at a pace that works for you. Whether you enjoy completing one topic each day or spreading them throughout the week, the choice is yours.
Inside each topic, you’ll find:
- An interesting fact
- A thought-provoking discussion question
- Informative, kid-friendly reading
- A carefully selected YouTube video
- A recommended children’s book
- A math or literacy enrichment activity with three difficulty levels
- An unforgettable hands-on activity that brings the topic to life!
Across the 10 topics, children naturally explore all subjects, including: Science, Social Studies, History, Geography, Art, Music, Health, Literacy, and Math.
When everything connects across subjects, learning simply makes more sense. Children make connections, remember more, and stay engaged because they’re immersed in one exciting topic from start to finish. It’s the kind of learning that sticks long after the lesson is over.
