(6th grade math)
Ms. Sunday
Key Points for Curriculum Night
OCurriculum GoalsOHomework ExpectationsOAttendance and AssignmentsOGrading Policy
General Areas of FocusOFactors, multiples, prime numbersODecimal, fraction operationsORatios, rates, proportionsOUnit rate, percentOAlgebraic expressions, equations, inequalitiesO Integers and coordinate planesOVolume, surface area of 2D and 3D
shapes/figuresOGraphing, analyzing statistical data
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)
HomeworkO The purpose of homework is to practice,
and/or reinforce concepts we are working on in class. Credit is given for completion, not perfection.
O When students have trouble with HW, they are expected to problem solve using available resources (notes, textbook, websites, logic, reasoning). If unable to find a solution, they should bring the methods or strategies attempted, and come prepared with questions.
O Homework is assigned in class approximately 2-4 nights per week, and will be posted on the 6C website.
AbsencesHomework 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:O Check the 6C website for class information,
assignments and/or notes. O Copy class notes, complete and turn in
missed assignments.O See teacher to schedule a convenient time
to make-up missed assessments.
