NCERT Class 6 Maths
Class 6 Maths: Ganita Prakash chapter-wise practice
Ganita Prakash asks children to notice patterns, try things out and explain why, which is very different from the old routine of twenty similar sums. The practice follows the book's order and its kind of questions. Hands-on activities let your child build fractions, draw constructions and test number patterns before the questions start.

Chapter 1 Patterns in Mathematics
Explore mathematics as the search for patterns and reasons. Build number and shape patterns from dots, arrays, polygons and snowflake stages, then explain why the rules work.
Topics: Patterns and explanations, Basic number sequences, Visual number patterns, Adding sequences, Relations between sequences, Shape sequences, Creating and justifying patterns
-
Chapter 2 Lines and Angles
Name points, lines, rays and line segments, then understand angles as turns. Compare, classify, measure and draw angles using folds, rotating arms, clocks and protractors.
Topics: Points, segments, lines and rays, Naming and drawing geometric objects, Angles as turns, Comparing angles, Special angle types, Degrees, protractors and bisectors, Drawing and real-life angle reasoning
-
Chapter 3 Number Play
Play with numbers in arrangements, supercells, number lines, digit sums, palindromes, Kaprekar's constant, clocks and calendar patterns.
Topics: Numbers that describe arrangements, Supercells and neighbouring cells, Large numbers on number lines, Digit sums and digit counting, Palindromes and Kaprekar steps, Clock, calendar and mental number puzzles
-
Chapter 4 Data Handling and Presentation
Collect class data, organise it with tallies and sorted lists, then read and create pictographs with sensible keys and clear conclusions.
Topics: Collecting useful data, Tally marks and frequencies, Arranging numerical data, Reading pictographs, Drawing pictographs with scale, Interpreting and critiquing data displays
-
Chapter 5 Prime Time
Use idli-vada, jump games, arrays, sieves and thread art to reason about multiples, factors, primes, co-prime pairs and prime factorisation.
Topics: Multiples and common multiples, Factors and common factors, Prime, composite and 1, Sieve and prime patterns, Co-prime pairs and thread art, Prime factorisation
-
Chapter 6 Perimeter and Area
Find boundary lengths and enclosed areas in frames, parks, fields, tracks, irregular cut-outs, composite regions and tangram puzzles.
Topics: Perimeter as boundary length, Rectangle, square and triangle perimeter, Rounds, fencing and regular polygons, Estimating irregular perimeter, Area of rectangles and squares, Composite area and tangram reasoning
-
Chapter 7 Fractions
Understand fractions as equal shares and fractional units, then place them on number lines, write mixed numbers, find equivalents and compare amounts.
Topics: Equal shares and unit fractions, Fractional units and quantities, Fractions on the number line, Fractions greater than one and mixed numbers, Equivalent fractions and fraction wall, Comparing and combining fractions
-
Chapter 8 Playing with Constructions
Use ruler and compass to draw circles, arcs, squares and rectangles, then reason about rotated shapes and rectangle explorations.
Topics: Compass, centre and radius, Constructing circular artwork, Squares and rectangles properties, Naming and rotated figures, Constructing squares and rectangles, Rectangle explorations and records
-
Chapter 9 Symmetry
Investigate mirror halves, folding, reflection, paper punching, rotational symmetry, circles and Indian designs such as rangoli and the Ashoka Chakra.
Topics: Symmetry and line of symmetry, Lines of symmetry in shapes, Reflection and mirror points, Folding, punching and completing figures, Rotational symmetry and order, Circle and real symmetric designs
-
Chapter 10 The Other Side of Zero
Extend numbers below zero using Bela’s lift, integer addition and subtraction, number lines, token zero pairs, passbooks, temperatures and heights.
Topics: Integers and floors around zero, Addition as movement, Inverses and comparisons, Subtraction as movement needed, Number-line methods, Token model and real contexts
Where does the study time go?
Middle school days are long. Six subjects, projects, the commute and often tuition in the evening. Children spend plenty of hours on studies but get very little quiet time to study on their own, and a gap in one chapter quietly carries over into the next.
Tuition is fine, and plenty of children need it. But a tutor with eight or ten children in one batch cannot sit with each of them, and cannot always keep track of what the school did that week. Sometimes the tuition follows its own order of chapters, the child ends up juggling two plans for the same subject, and the confusion shows up in the next test.
NoTuition.in gives that small window some shape: the chapter your child is doing in school, a short activity, practice that explains every mistake, and a clear view for you of what needs work.
