About this lesson and its coverage

Original Kidemy Class 6 progression. This level has its own text, examples and questions. Curriculum versions share the progression; complete board-specific coverage still needs specification matching and additional material.

Learn the idea

A negative number lies below zero on a number line. For fraction addition, use equal-sized parts. A percentage is a ratio per hundred of a named whole; always identify that whole.

Worked example

−3+8=5. For 2/3+1/4, use twelfths: 8/12+3/12=11/12. Ten percent of 80 is 8.

  1. Identify the quantities and restrictions.
  2. Show a method with units or symbols.
  3. Check and explain the result.
