Math Gr 6 B

In this problem- based curriculum, students will build on their math skills through exploration. Throughout this course, students will use interactives and offline tools to explore math concepts. Students learn by doing math, solving problems in mathematical and real- world contexts, and constructing arguments using precise language. Students hear thoughts and ideas from their “virtual classmates” as they explore mathematical concepts and are encouraged to explain their thinking in writing throughout the course.Students begin this semester by exploring decimals, and learn how to perform operations with decimals in context of real- world situations and problems. They then begin to delve into algebraic concepts such as expressions, expressions with exponents, and equations with one variable. Students begin to learn about negative numbers and plot positive and negative numbers on a coordinate grid. Finally, students explore data analysis and statistical questions through the study of dot plots, histograms, median, IQR, and measures of center. Additional course elements include real- world applications, discussions, graphic organizers, and unit projects.
