Welcome to sixth grade math! It's a great year full of math topics that will be useful in the years to come. Topics this year will include: ratios and proportions, the number system (positive and negative numbers, decimals, dividing fractions), expressions and equations, geometry, as well as statistics. Instruction is comprised of various lessons to meet the Next Generation Learning Standards.
Students will have three math classes within two days. A copy of class materials will be given to students as we proceed through the topics; with an additional copy being available in Google Classroom. Informative slides with embedded videos are also available for viewing. Another source of help is through the review game links that are featured in the Google slides. Quizzes and tests are announced. Quizzes are usually once per week, while tests happen once every ten weeks. Homework is assigned most days to reinforce the material covered in class. Students are encouraged to refer back to the class materials and Google slides that are posted.
Additional help is available outside of class time. Please see me after class or email me to schedule a time. In addition, after school review is offered once weekly until 3:30. I will announce that schedule in class as well as on my Google Stream.
I can be contacted at my email slafayette@wboro.org any time. I'll respond as quickly as possible.
I wish all of my incoming students a great start to sixth grade.
