6th Grade Math
Description:
This class covers the content of the Rod & Staff 6th Grade textbook. Students will solidify their mastery of arithmetic: Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Percents, Measures, Basic Geometry, and Graphs. With a systematic, orderly presentation of concepts and plenty of time for review, your student will gain a strong foundation for pre-algebra. Homework, quizzes, and tests will be submitted by scanning and uploading, avoiding the technical problems and lack of personal feedback associated with “automatically graded” math quizzes.
Major Goals for the Course:
Computation
- Demonstrate ability to solve distance, rate, and time word problems
- Increase speed in solving all four operations
- Convert fractions to decimals and vice versa
- Add and subtract mixed numbers
- Advanced work with ratios, proportions, and percentages
Geometry
- Display working knowledge of metric units of area, capacity, weight, and linear measures
- Display working knowledge of perimeter, area, volume, angles, and circles
Grade Level: 6-7 (advanced 5th graders also welcome) (ages10-13)
Required Materials: Rod and Staff Sixth Grade Set. Students will also need a USB headset (built-in microphones also work). Some kind of scanner will be needed. Conventional scanners are fine, but if parents have a smart phone, they can convert pictures taken with a phone to PDF documents. Students are required to upload their assignments as PDF documents into the classroom.
Students can purchase a tablet or stylus for working problems in class though it is not required. Many students simply used their computer’s mouse or trackpad to work problems.
