  1. Welcome to Altadena Middle School! 6th Grade Math Mr. Collins

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

  3. General Areas of Focus • Factors, multiples, prime numbers • Decimal, fraction operations • Ratios, rates, proportions • Unit rate, percent • Algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities • Integers and coordinate planes • Volume, area of 2D and 3D shapes/figures • Graphing, analyzing statistical data

  4. Middle school students will continue to develop and apply focus concepts as they progress to achieve proficiency of the Common Core’s eight Standards for Mathematical Practice: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. (Deductive Reasoning) 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (Inductive Reasoning)

  5. Homework • Assigned approximately 2-4 nights per week as practice and/or reinforcement of concepts • HW assignments will be posted in class and on team website • When unsure of concepts, students are to use available resources to assist them with assignments (notes, textbook, websites, logic, reasoning). • Credit is earned for attempting to complete assignments, and students are expected to come to class prepared to ask questions when they are unable to do so. • Homework will be accepted one day late for ½ credit. No credit given for assignments turned in more than one day past date due.

  6. ASSESSMENTS • You can expect some type of assessment (Test/Quiz) to be given every few weeks. • Tests and quizzes provide each student an opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of the current material. • Quizzes will generally be worth 25 points. • If a student scores less than 70% on a quiz, they will have 1 week to complete test corrections. Students will receive ½ credit for each corrected problem counted towards their score up to 70%. • Unit tests will generally be worth 100 points.

  7. Absences Homework and assessments must be made up when absent. Students have one day for every day absent to make up homework for full credit. When absent, it is the responsibility of student to: • Check the 6B website for class information, assignments and/or notes. • Copy class notes, complete and turn in missed assignments. • See teacher to schedule a convenient time to make-up missed assessments.

  8. Grades Grading Scale: • 100-90% = A • 89-80% = B • 79-70% = C • 69-60% = D • 59% = F • 80% of overall grade based on assessment scores • 20% of overall grade based on homework and in class assignments.
