Welcome to Grade 6 Math!
We have a busy year planned with plenty of new things for you to explore. Life in the middle school is busy and your day will include lots of walking as you move from one class to the next, and lots of thinking as you work with teachers and classmates. In math class, we will be studying the Next Generation State Standards for Math and challenging ourselves to THINK DEEPLY and grow in our understanding of math.
The math content studied this year will add another layer to the foundation of skills you have built during the six years of elementary school. This year the layer will be a bit "deeper" and more tied to real world experiences that you will be experiencing in the years to come. Just as it is necessary to build a firm foundation when building a new house, it is vital that our math foundation remain strong. Throughout the year we take time to review the foundational skills that pertain to our current unit of study to help maintain that strong foundation. Continued review of the four basic math operations is a good way to strengthen and maintain those foundational skills on which all math concepts are built.
As with so many things in life, much practice is needed to be successful in math class. With consistent practice and attention to the details of each problem, 6th grade math will be a challenge met and conquered!
