6th Grade Mathematics

6th Grade MathematicsTeacherMr. SlomanGrade Level6th GradeCourse6th Grade MathematicsCourse DescriptionThis course prepares students for Pre-Algebra. General topics that are covered include decimals, fractions, equations, percents,graphing in the coordinate plane, and probability. A review of measurement, patterns, displaying and analyzing data, multiplication,and division will also be covered. Guided Problem solving strategies throughout the text provide students with the tools they need tobe effective and independent learners. An emphasis on fractions solidifies student understanding of rational number operations inpreparation for applying these skills to algebraic equations. Both formative and summative assessments will be used whendetermining student grades.Textbook:Title: Mathematics Couse 2ISBN: 0-13-133992-5Authors: Charles, Illingworth, McNemar, Mills, Ramirez, ReevesPublisher: Pearson Prentice HallPublication Date: Copyright 2008AssessmentThere will be a minimum of 3 assignments scored for each of the weeks in a quarter. Points will be obtained from assignments,quizzes, chapter tests, and projects.
