Math Final

​Grade 6 Math Performance Task

In this slideshow, I want to give a few sample questions that I have made myself. After each sample question it will get harder and harder. At the end of the sample questions will be a small Mock Test consisting of 5 questions.

(Please note that I can make mistakes)

​Tips For The Performance Task Exam

• Always read the question more than once.

• Remember not to cram anything in your brain before the exam.

• Get a good rest before the exam.

• Bring everything you need in the exam (pencils, rubbers etc.).

• Make sure you are prepare mentally and physically for the Pep Examination.

• Read thoroughly.

• Focus on you, no one else.

​Example Question 1

​John received 30 marbles in the span of 3 days. He then received 50 marbles in the span of 5 days. How many marbles did he then receive in the span of seven days?


Try to answer the question first then look at the answer!

​Example Questions

​John received 30 marbles in the span of 3 days. He then received 50 marbles in the span of 5 days. How many marbles did he then receive in the span of seven days? 70


To find the answer we see that he received 30 marbles in the span of 3 days. 3 into 30 goes 10 times and 3 days multiplied by 10 equal 30, which is how many marbles he got, .: days x 10= marbles, so 7 multiplied by 10 equal 70.

You can also use proportion to solve the question!
