Textbook: Pearson enVision 2.0
Online textbook: www.pearsonrealize.com
General Course Information:
6th Grade Math prepares students for future work in Pre-Algebra. Students will expand and deepen their knowledge of numbers, computation, estimation, measurement, geometry, proportion, statistics, probability, patterns and functions, and the introduction concepts of algebra. This course will strongly emphasize operations on all rational numbers, and strategies for problem solving.
Materials Needed:
Math Binder
*binder will be collected and graded each marking period
*binder can be used with other subjects
Math textbook
*must be covered at all times
Pencils
*all class work and assignments must be written in pencil
Classroom Schedule:
Check homework assignment
Go over homework questions
Lesson covering new material (notes)
Practice new material (board or notebook)
Weekly assessment
Various seasonal projects will be completed during class time
Grading Policy
Students will be frequently assessed for their math understanding and application. Included with their weekly tests, I will grade their math notebook, and occasional homework assignments. A point based grading system will be used so students can calculate their average every time I return a graded assignment or test. Their cumulative average can be found in their math notebook as well as on the grade portal. This notebook will require a parent signature at each midterm and at the end of each marking period.
Absence Policy
If you are absent or miss my class for any reason you will be responsible of the work you missed. You will be given the same amount of time to make up the assignment as was originally given.
