This course is geared to give rising 6th graders a head start on their upcoming math topics. Students will be taught the monumental learning objectives from the top four units within 6th grade math. The top four units are Number Systems, Ratios and Proportions, Expressions and Equations, and Geometry. Each 50 minute session will include a 15 to 20 minute mini lesson from the teacher and allow for an estimated 30 minutes of activities and practice. Sessions will allow students to engage with math content and peers while the teacher facilitates learning. Lessons will be as interactive as necessary for student engagement but, will never lose sight of the core concepts of the lesson. My teaching style is based around student empowerment and encouraging students to THINK. We always win or we learn. I emphasize the phrase, "I learned over, I failed" to maximize learning opportunities for students. Topics covered include: Week 4 July 13- Intro to Exponents Weeks 5 July 20th - Order of Operations with Exponents Week 6- July 27- Order of Operations with Exponents Weeks 7 August 3rd - Calculate area of Polygons Weeks 8 August 10- Calculate area of Polygons Updated 7/9/22
Learning Goals
Get a head start on 6th grade math topics. No long boring lectures here! Guided modeling and interactive activities to help you make sense of math!

What's our take on "NEW MATH" aka Common Core?
Truthfully, we don't believe there is a new math. Math exists with or without our acknowledgement.
However, we understand the frustration. At Math For The Middles, our strategies are based in mathematical accuracy. Learners are taught to conceptually understand concepts, become fluent with procedures and algorithms and best of all be able to reason mathematically. This means we use whatever strategy works best for enrolled learners and we do not exclude any methods that hold up mathematically nor exclusively use only one method.
