  4. Topics of Study in 6th Grade • Arithmetic with positive rational numbers applied to real world situations • Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic • Volume and surface area of solid figures • Ratio, proportion, and scale factor • Line and rotational symmetry • One-step equations • Probability

  5. Important Stuff! Agenda Homework Notebook Power School Teachers’ webpages

  6. Agenda Keep it neat Update in class daily Spot check routinely at home

  8. Needed in Class Daily • Notebook • 2 pencils • Ink pen • Paper • Agenda • Completed homework Optional • Colored pencils • Pencil sharpener

  9. Math Homework • Reinforces classroom learning • Gives parents a glimpse of what we are studying • Helps students develop as independent learners • Offers opportunities for extensions • Takes no more than 20 minutes

  10. Power School Access with a password Updated frequently by teachers Find: Upcoming tests and projects Current averages Email links

  11. Web pages Teacher Webpages • Faircloth agenda entry • Clark Tutorial • Marshall Links • Maes "Stuff we did in class"

  12. How to Succeed in Mathematics Preparing for tests Mastering basic skills CRCT prep Know the vocabulary Dealing with anxiety

  14. Test prep continued  Don’t wait until the night before the test to study. Use study guides. Think positive thoughts…You can do this! Do easy problems first…don’t waste time. Check your paper before turning it in.

  15. Master basic skills Remember everything you learned since kindergarten!

  16. CRCT Practice CRCT You can access online practice tests.

  17. Know the vocabulary Mathematics has a language all its own. Learn the language!

  18. Math Anxiety Create practice tests at home for additional practice. But, don’t cram for the test the night before. Focus on mastery not memorization. Relax with breathing exercises or visualization of doing well.

  19. A Few More Things Share ways that you use math at home and at work with your child. Share mathematics as you encounter it in books, newspapers, etc. Present a positive disposition toward mathematics. Contact your child’s teacher should you have any questions or concerns.

  20. Do math and you can do anything!

  21. Thank you for coming! We are looking forward to a successful partnership to provide your child with an enriching 6th grade experience.
