Math 6 Course Outline

The Math 6 course is designed to strengthen the student’s ability to perform arithmetical operations. Special emphasis will be placed on mental math for students who have not yet mastered addition and times tables. Students will also be expected to develop the ability to present their work in a clear and legible manner. The course will introduce students to more challenging problems and will begin the process of relating word problems to mathematical expressions and calculations. The idea of algebraic expressions and unknown quantities will be introduced. This course uses Middle School Math Course 1 by Larson, Boswell, Kanold, & Stiff.
