Sixth Grade Math:

      Grade 6 Math focuses on a review of the basic operations to whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers. The solving of equations is stressed in this class. Geometry, Measurement, Percents, and Data Analysis are also covered.

      The students’ grades are a weighted combination of Assessment (40%), Classwork (35%), Independent Work (15%), and Homework (10%). Active participation is important in this class as it only enhances the understanding of the topics. Homework is a necessary “evil” of math, since practice is needed on the weekly topics taught. It is expected that each student keep up with the daily math assignments.

      In the event of a student being absent, the current week’s work can be viewed at schoolnotes.com. Work for the week is usually posted by noon on Monday. Students can be notified by schoolnotes.com of weekly changes by visiting the site and registering for the weekly changes.
