6th+Grade+Math

Course Description
In math, we are following the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards, which means we will be jumping around the textbook and utilizing outside resources at times. We will also be integrating science, as well as other subject areas, as often as possible. Math makes the most sense in connection to the real world, and we will be exploring those connections to help students learn and appreciate the concepts.

Topics

 * Problem Solving
 * Integers and Order of Operations
 * Intro to Algebra
 * Rational Numbers
 * Probability
 * Geometry
 * Data Analysis

We've started Algebra!! This unit will last until the end of November. Students will learn about variables, expressions and equations. They will be solving, evaluating and simplifying before they know it.

We are also using an exciting new set of Hands-On-Equations to help make algebra more concrete for the students.
