Math 6

$865

Curriculum

Math 6 will focus on increasing math fact fluency and mastering the mathematical skills needed to be successful in pre-Algebra. We use a spiral curriculum, so most of the topics will be studied throughout grades 4-6 with increasing difficulty level and complexity.

Each at-home lesson will be taught in class and we will complete the quiz and test lessons during class. Students should be able to complete the at-home lessons with little or no parental help. Parents will need to time and grade the one-minute timed drills and possibly help with flash cards and skip counting; these tasks could be done with a sibling. If the students are unable to complete the at-home lessons in the timeframe, then they are possibly not ready for the class.

Math 6 covers:

Percent Concepts and Application
Division with Decimals
Fraction Multiplication
Geometry Facts and Application
Division with 3-Digit Divisors
Expressions and Equations
Primes and Factors
Proportions
Using Formulas
Exponents, Integers, and Coordinates

Home Studies

We will complete four to five lessons per week, and each lesson should take a maximum of 60 minutes.
Regular progress reports will be sent to parents.

Prerequisites

Students should be able to compute math facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division at a rate of 30-40 per minute.
Students must pass the Math 5 exit exam to be administered in the spring/summer by the Schola staff.
