Mrs. Green's 6th Math

Focus for the Second Semester

Now that we have practiced different strategies in problem solving, decimals, powers of numbers, graphs and statistics  we will turn our attention to the worlds of geometry, fractions, and beginning algebra. If you click on the standards button on the main page you will have a complete list of all we cover in our course.

Many of our fraction concepts will be introduced using tools such as fraction circles, pattern blocks, cuisenaire rods.  I will be asking them to practice at home using measuring cups and spoons as well as the ruler.

Please check out the manipulatives found on the link on my main page to internet resources.  Scroll to the National  Library of virtual manipulatives     There you will find a computer version of what we do in class.

We will continue with our problems of the week, worksheets that focus on analysis of patterns and shapes, as well as use our text as a resource for information and practice.

Remember our homework policy tightens up for second semester.  Check it out on the Homework Policy LINK

Keep encouraging your child to view math as a  very useful and predictable subject that makes you think, makes you work hard, but brings such benefits and satisfaction when done well!

As always, please email with your questions or concerns.  My goals always include helping my parents and students to be comfortable with  the world of mathematics!
