  6. 6th Grade Math Curriculum

  7. In All Classes Emphasis Will Be On: • Organizational Skills • Following both written & oral directions • Study Skills • Homework – Emphasis is on PROCESS • Show that you tried to solve each problem by showing some work. NO Blank ANSWERS • Do not work more than 5 to 10 minutes on any one problem – homework is reviewed in class – Show that you tried

  8. Numbers and Operations • Prime Factorization • to find GCF & LCM • Exponential Form • Front-end Estimation & Rounding Rules • Decimal & Whole Number Place Values • Reciprocals

  9. All Operations for Fractions & Decimals Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Fractions, Decimals& Percents • Compare & Convert • Fractions to fractions, decimals, & percents • Decimals to decimals, fractions, & percents • Equivalent fractions, decimals • & percents • Decimal Place Value

  10. Problem Solving • 4-Step Problem Solving Approach • Understand the Problem • Make a Plan • Use a variety of strategies • Diagrams, work backward, find patterns, make tables, Venn diagrams, organized lists, draw pictures • Carry Out the Plan • Look Back 10

  11. Introducing Algebraic Reasoning • Write & evaluate expressions • Order of Operations • Write and evaluate expressions in exponents • Solve one step variables • Graph Coordinates on a Grid • Locate and graph negative and positive integers • Identify all four quadrants • Compare and order integers • Patterns & Sequences • Identify and extend patterns • Find a rule to extend a pattern • Develop and organize data using tables • Venn Diagrams

  12. Geometry • Name Basic geometric units • Rays, Lines, Segments, Point, Plane • Know parts of a protractor • Define & find complimentary and supplementary angles • Triangles and Polygons • Define and identify regular and irregular polygons • Distinguish between regular & irregular polygons • Identify lines of symmetry in regular and irregular polygons • Classify triangles by the lengths of their sides & angles • Scalene, Equilateral, Isosceles • Obtuse, Acute, Right • Triangle classification • Determine when triangles can be formed • Define Transformations • Translations, rotations, and reflections

  13. and still more Geometry • Volume of: • Cube • Rectangular Prism • Area and perimeter for: • Rectangles • Squares • Parallelograms • Triangles • Circles • Trapezoids • Identify & Label: • Planes • Parallel , Perpendicular & Skew Lines

  14. Data & Statistical Analysis • Construct, Interpret, & Analyze: • Bar Graphs • Multi-bar graphs • Line Graphs • Multi-lined graphs • Stem & Leaf Plots • Venn Diagrams • Averages • Mean • Median • Mode • Range 14

  15. Metric Measurements • Metric Length, Mass & Volume • Converting Metric Units • Comparing Metric Units 15

  16. Probability • Experimental • The ratio of the number of times an outcome happened to the number of times the experiment was repeated • Theoretical • The ratio of the number of outcomes in the event to the total number of possible outcomes

  17. SCIENCEMr. MacKenzie

  18. Sixth Grade Science Course Overview • Life Science – Student Guide & Source Book: Investigating Organisms: From Macro to Micro- This module picks up where the fifth grade module “Microworlds” ended. The compound microscope will be the tool of choice as the students study the characteristics of microbial life and the characteristics and functions of cells from plants and animals. Along with the study of individual organisms, the students will investigate the role of these organisms in an ecosystem. Threaded throughout this module is an emphasis on careful observation, comparison of the properties of organisms and classification of organisms based on properties. The idea that we learn about the universe by observing, comparing properties, and classifying things in all areas of science ties our three units together.

  19. Sixth Grade Science Course Overview • Physical Science – Student Guide & Source Book: Properties of Matter. This module picks up where the fifth grade module “Mixtures & Solutions” ended. The focus of the “Properties of Matter” module is the study of the physical and chemical properties that characterize matter. The essential concepts of this module provide a foundation for the Earth Science module.

  20. Sixth Grade Science Course Overview • Earth Science – Student Guide & Source Book: Catastrophic Events. The Catastrophic Events module gives the students a chance to apply what they learned about the properties and behavior of matter to earth processes. Catastrophic events are used as the “hook” to invite the students to dig deeper into the causes of these natural events. The focus of the module is on storms, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

  21. SOCIAL STUDIESMrs. Selander

  22. Social Studies Units: • Prehistory • Archaeology • Hominids (early humans) • Ancient River Valley Civilizations • Mesopotamia • Egypt • Ancient India • Ancient China • Classical Civilizations • Ancient Greece • Ancient Rome

  23. Team Notes: CONFERENCES: • No News is Good News! • The team will initiate a conference with you if we feel it is necessary for the success of your child. • Also, if you have a concern, please let us know and we would be happy to accommodate you and schedule a conference as well.

  24. TEAM WEBSITE: • http://wwpms.sharpschool.com/cms_teams/team_6b/ • Homework is posted on each individual teacher’s website listed on the left column of the main team page by subject. • Often times we will post some handouts, notes, or links for students to use at home. • Please check it and use it often as a resource.
