Everyday Math
Our 6th grade math program is a continuation of the Everyday Math series that students used at the elementary level. Parent resources and information from the University of Chicago can be found here: Help with Home & Study Links - 6th Grade This site includes parent letters and handouts for each unit of study.
6th Grade students from my homeroom will be going to Mrs. Cronin or Mrs. Heath for Pre-Algebra. That information is listed below.
Curriculum Snapshot - 6th Grade Everyday Math
Number and Numeration
Recognizing place value in whole numbers and decimals; using exponential and scientific notation; finding factors and multiples; converting between fractions, decimals and percents; ordering positive and negative numbers.
Operations and Computation
Solving problems involving whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and positive and negative numbers; applying properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Data and Chance
Collecting, organizing, displaying, and analyzing data; identifying and comparing landmarks of data sets (mean, median, mode, and range); using probability to represent and predict outcomes and analyze chance.
Measurement and Reference Frames
Measuring using metric and U.S. customary units; using formulas to calculate area, circumference, and volume; naming and plotting points on a coordinate grid.
Geometry
Measuring and drawing angles; understanding properties of angles; identifying and modeling similar and congruent figures; constructing figures with a compass and straightedge; drawing to scale; exploring transformations of geometric shapes; experimenting with modern geometric ideas.
Patterns, Functions, and Algebra
Creating and extending numerical patterns; representing and analyzing functions; manipulating algebraic expressions; solving equations and inequalities; working with Venn diagrams; applying algebraic properties; working with ratios and proportions
Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra builds on basic mathematical skills. It introduces the students to the concepts of Algebra and fundamentals of Geometry. It is expected that students in Pre- Algebra will be introduced to symbols, expressions, solving and graphing, become proficient with fractions, decimals, conversions between them, and the standard mathematical operations and build the foundation necessary for success in the study of Algebra.
Curriculum Snapshot - 6th Grade Pre-Algebra Course
The 6th grade Pre-Algebra class will be using the McDougal Littell Pre-Algebra book. There is a website that will has tutorials that match our text book!! The website is calledClassZone. You can get a review of each lesson!!
The topics in our book are:
Chapter 1: Variables, Expression and Integers
Chapter 2: Solving Equations
Chapter 3: Multi-Step Equations and Inequalities
Chapter 4: Factors, Fractions and Exponents
Chapter 5: Rational Numbers and Equations
Chapter 6: Ration, Proportion and Probability
Chapter 7: Percents
Chapter 8: Linear Functions
Chapter 9: Real Numbers and Right Triangles
Chapter 10: Measurement, Area and Volume
Chapter 11: Data Analysis and Probability
Chpater 12: Polynomials and Nonlinear Functions
Chapter 13: Angle Relationships and Transformations
