Math 6

Math 6 is a one-year course designed to prepare and motivate students for success in this course and future math courses.  Math 6 utilizes a discovery approach to the learning of mathematics.  Students are expected to use their basic math skills as they learn more complex mathematics concepts.

Students will be actively involved in problem solving, and will use a variety of problem solving strategies, while learning about geometry, fractions, patterns and sequences, basic algebra, graphing and data displays, ratios, percents, equations, probability, and the metric system.

Assessments in the form of tests, quizzes, daily work, and projects will be given throughout the year.  Students are expected to keep their assignments in a math binder or folder.  Students will need a textbook, paper, math binder/folder, pencils, agenda book, ruler, protractor, and calculator (4-function with exponent key) for math 6.
