What is this Course?
This course is designed to help sixth-grade students make the transition from arithmetic to algebraic thinking. It begins with a review and extension of decimals, fractions and operations. We introduce integers and their applications. The course includes other important topics in mathematics including patterns, functions, geometry, measurements, probability, and statistics. There is an emphasis on making connections through problem solving.
Overall, students will make, use, and test generalizations as a means of solving real world problems. They accomplish this through performing operations with fractions and decimals with proficiency and accuracy, and investigating operations with integers. They will demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume and solve problems applying these concepts. They will use inferential skills to make predictions based on probability, data and graphs.
