In 6th grade Math we will be focusing on five key areas:
1. Understandings of the number system.
2. Knowledge of equations and expressions
3. Connect ratios and proportions to real-world situations.
4. Apply real-world and mathematical problems involving geometry.
5. Explain statistics and probability.
In the 6th grade please be looking for practice work throughout the week. It is very important for students to practice in order to strengthen their Math skills. If your child does not understand a skill they need to look in their Math journal for help. We work on many examples of the Math skills in class each day. They need to keep their journals in their binders at all times!
Please see my Math Websites and Resources page for fun ways for your student to improve their Math skills on their own, as well as several other educational games and websites. Again, please encourage your kids to practice their multiplication facts at home. This goes a LONG way in helping with our mastery of skills.
