US Grade 6
This self-paced course is designed to teach students 6th grade math and prepare them for 7th grade math. The course does not meet live. The curriculum covers a range of topics, including ratios, arithmetic with rational numbers, rates, percentages, negative numbers, variables and expressions, equations and inequalities, plane figures, coordinate plane, 3D figures, and data and statistics. Video lessons are created by me and will be posted on the classroom board. Post may also include resources such as worksheets and guides to aid in learning for that weeks lesson. Students will receive homework for each lesson which will consist of Khan Academy and/or worksheets. Homework worksheets can be submitted by sending an image, scan, or PDF. Unit tests and quizzes are issued on Khan Academy, and a final course review will be given on paper as a PDF to test student retention of information and readiness for 7th grade math. Communication with students is done solely through the Outschool platform, and parents are encouraged to ensure their child is completing assignments and watching video lessons. Prior knowledge of elementary math, such as multiplying, fractions, decimals, division, addition, and subtraction is expected. Live One-on-one tutoring are available via zoom at an additional cost for students who need extra help. Students are welcome to message me at any time with questions or concerns, and I can provide additional videos on specific topics if needed. Effective communication is key since there are no live sessions.

over 16 WeeksUnit 1: Ratios
Lesson 1:
Ratios
In sixth-grade ratios, students explore the relationship between quantities, learning to express these relationships using ratios and proportions. Through practical examples and exercises, they develop skills in comparing quantities, solving problems involving ratios, and understanding how ratios are applied in real-life contexts such as cooking, finance, and sports. This foundational understanding sets the stage for more complex mathematical concepts in later grades. 14 mins of video lessons
Unit 2: Arithmetic with rational numbers
Lesson 2:
Arithmetic with rational numbers
In sixth-grade arithmetic with rational numbers, students delve into the world of fractions, decimals, and integers. They learn to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with these numbers, gaining a deeper understanding of their properties and relationships. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving tasks, students develop essential skills in manipulating rational numbers, laying a solid foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts. 15 mins of video lessons
Unit 3: Rates and percentages
Lesson 3:
Rates and percentages
In sixth-grade rates and percentages, students explore the concepts of proportional relationships and relative quantities. They learn to calculate rates, interpret percentages, and solve real-world problems involving proportions. Through engaging activities and practical examples, students develop skills in comparing quantities, understanding discounts, and calculating interest rates. 7 mins of video lessons
Unit 4: Exponents and order of operations
Lesson 4:
Exponents and order of operations
In 6th grade, students learn about negative numbers, understanding their significance and how to perform operations involving them. Through practical examples and exercises, they gain proficiency in using negative numbers to represent debts, temperatures, and positions on a number line. This foundational knowledge prepares them for more advanced mathematical concepts in later grades. 12 mins of video lessons
