6th Grade Math



Mission


All students can achieve mathematical competence in the following areas: Number Sense and Operations; Patterns, Relations, and Algebra; Geometry; Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability, at the sixth grade level.  This can be accomplished through our program, which emphasizes skillful problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and making connections.  Students can also deepen their ability to think critically through lessons that are geared to directly instruct them in developing their skillful quantitative problem solving and decision making skills. Students are actively engaged in meaningful and challenging problem solving situations, which are designed for their individual capacity to conceptualize mathematical processes.  Their understanding of mathematics deepens as they connect procedures and skills with conceptual understanding and perform tasks that promote curiosity, develop communication skills, and build upon their prior knowledge.
