Life on the Frontier - Communities of the Past and Present - Food and Shelter
Hello,
Today we are going to look at food and shelter preparation from the past. In social studies, we not only look at Canada and its connections to the world, but we also look at the communities of the past and present.
I have included some videos about food preparation and shelter techniques from the 1700 and 1800s on the frontier. I have organized the videos by heading. I would like you to watch a posted video (or videos) and answer the following questions in the Google form below. If you are having trouble viewing the form, email me and I will send you a copy via email.
** Read the questions you will be answering before you watch the video and make sure you take notes while you watch. It will help!
**Remember, do not try anything you see in the videos, unless you ask your parents and are supervised by an adult. If you do decide to try something with your parent or guardian, let me know! :-)

Calculating Sales Tax
Current HST rate for Ontario in 2025
The HST for Ontario is calculated from an Ontario Tax of 8% and a Canada rate of 5% for a total of 13%.
To calculate only the sales tax, take the price of the item and multiply it by (x .13).
To calculate the price of the item with sales tax, take the price of the item and multiply it by (x 1.13).
Hello, Grade 6!
Imagine that you are now a teenager with a part-time job. You just received your first pay after working hard for two weeks. The total amount of money you earned was $200.00. You are excited after receiving your first pay and you have many plans:
There are a couple of things that you need to buy:
1. You have a party that you need to go to, and you need to pick out a gift for a friend that is no more than $25.00 with tax.
2. You promised your family that you would purchase a meal for them when you received your pay. The meal must include a main course, dessert, and soft drinks. How much did the meal cost with tax.
3. You want to download 10 songs legally. What is the cost of the downloads with tax?
4. You need to buy a new outfit for the party. Please calculate the price of your outfit with tax.
5. You feel like you should treat yourself to something special for all your hard work. You can buy one more random item that you think you need and calculate the price of that item with tax.
6. A friend suddenly calls and tells you that they have an extra ticket to an exhibition hockey game between the Leafs and the Canadiens. The ticket only cost $100 with tax. Do you have enough money to go? Can you change your purchases above to afford the ticket? Please provide an explanation of your decision.
Your task is to complete a slideshow, including pictures of purchases, links to where you found your information and your calculations of sales tax. I would also like to know how much money you have left over (if any) and what you would do with any leftover money your may have.
Please share your slideshow with me once you are completed:
