  1. Welcome to Altadena Middle School!

  2. Key Points for Curriculum Night • Curriculum Goals • Homework Expectations • Attendance and Assignments • Late/Missing Work • Grading Policy

  3. 6th Grade Math The Year at a Glance • Data Analysis and Graphing • Coordinate Plane • Number Systems • Greatest Common Factor & Least Common Multiple • Scientific Notation • Variables and Equations • Integers • Fractions, Decimals, and Percents • Ratios and Proportions • Graphing and Analyzing Change • Patterns and Rules • Probability • Vertex-Edge Graphs • Discrete Mathematics • Geometry • Problem Solving Strategies (throughout the year)

  4. Pre-Algebra The Year at a Glance • Data Analysis • Probability • Percents • Permutations – Combinations • Number Systems • Expressions • Equations • Inequalities • Slope • Scientific Notation • Squares & Roots • Irrational Numbers • Discrete Mathematics • Sequences • Measurement • Geometry • Problem Solving Strategies throughout the year

  5. Homework Expectations • Assigned approx 3-4 nights per week • Serves as practice/reinforcement of skills learned in class • Must show evidence of attempting to solve/complete assignment to receive credit • Must attempt every problem and be prepared to ask questions • Students are to use their resources (notes, textbook) when they are unsure of concepts • Not everything will be right on the first try, but it is figuring out what went wrong that helps students to learn.

  6. Attendance and Assignments • Weekly homework assignments written on board and posted on website each Monday • Students are responsible for recording assignments in their agenda • Students are responsible for completing and turning in missed assignments, and copying missed notes upon return to class • All homework must be made up when absent • Students have two days for every day absent to make up work for full credit • Students must make up all missed tests, quizzes and assessments.
