Class Experience

US Grade 6
Beginner - Advanced Level
Each week, students will dive into a new set of math concepts through a carefully structured learning module. Here's what your child can expect:

**Video Lessons**
Kick off the week with a pre-recorded video lesson. Our expert teachers explain the week's topics in a clear and engaging way, setting the stage for effective learning.

**Interactive Worksheets**
After viewing the lesson, students will have access to two types of worksheets:
   • Guided Practice Worksheets: These are designed to be used alongside the video, allowing students to apply concepts in real-time as they learn.
   • Independent Practice Worksheets**: To reinforce the week’s lessons, these worksheets can be completed at the student’s own pace. Answer sheets are provided for immediate feedback.

**Engaging Reinforcement Activities**:
   • Gimkit Games: Challenge classmates in live, interactive Gimkit games that make learning competitive and fun.
   • Pixel Art Challenges: Apply mathematical concepts to create pixel art, blending creativity with problem-solving skills.
   • Matching Games and Online Assignments: Each topic comes with a matching game or a specially tailored online assignment to enhance understanding and retention.

**Access to IXL Learning**
Once students feel prepared, they can take an online assessment on IXL to gauge their mastery of the concepts. This feedback-driven approach ensures that students know their strengths and areas for improvement.

This structured, interactive approach ensures not only mastery of essential math skills but also keeps learning enjoyable and engaging throughout the summer break!
Learning Goals
Ratios
Understand a ratio as a comparison of two quantities and represent these comparisons. 
Understand the concept of a unit rate associated with a ratio, and describe the meaning of unit rate.
Create tables of equivalent ratios, find missing values in the tables and plot the pairs of values on the Cartesian coordinated plane
Solve unit rate problems.
Solve percent problems.
Convert measurement units within and between two systems of measurement.

Number Sense
Solve problems involving division of fractions by fractions.
Demonstrate fluency with division of multi-digit whole numbers.
Demonstrate fluency with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals.
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM).
Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers.

Rational Numbers
Use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities.
Locate rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line.
Write, interpret and explain problems of ordering of rational numbers.
Understand that a number and its opposite (additive inverse) are located on opposite sides of zero on the number line.
Understand that the absolute value of a rational number is its distance from 0 on the number line.

Expressions and Equations
Describe the difference between an expression and an equation.
Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terminology.
Evaluate expressions at specific values of the variables.
Evaluate non-negative rational number expressions
Write and evaluate algebraic expressions
Understand the meaning of the variable in the context of the situation.
Identify and generate equivalent algebraic expressions using mathematical properties
Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes a one-variable equation or inequality true.
Understand that if any solutions exist, the solution set for an equation or inequality consists of values that make the equation or inequality true
Write and solve equations using variables to represent quantities, and understand the meaning of the variable in the context of the situation.
Solve one-step linear equations in one variable involving non-negative rational numbers
Recognize that inequalities may have infinitely many solutions.
Graph the solution set of an inequality.
Identify and describe relationships between two variables that change in relationship to one another.
Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs, tables and equations and relate these representations to each other.

Area
Find the area of polygons by composing or decomposing the shapes into rectangles or triangles. 
Find the volume of right rectangular prism

Coordinate Plane
Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane
Recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one 
Find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. 
Construct polygons in the Cartesian coordinate plane. 

Shapes
Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles
Use nets to find the surface area of three-dimensional figures whose sides are made up of rectangles and triangles

Data
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it 
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread and overall shape
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary from a single number.
Use dot plots, histograms and box plots to display and interpret numerical data.
Create and interpret circle graphs.
Give quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context of the data
Expectation Unwrapped –the intent of this section is to describe the elements of the expectation, but are NOT additional standards or expectations.Given a data set the student will recognize the appropriate measure of center based on the shape of the data. Given a data set the student will recognize the appropriate measure of center based on the context of the data.Given a data set the student will recognize the appropriate measure of variability based on the shape of the data.Given a data set the student will recognize the appropriate measure of variability based on the context of the data.DOK Ceiling3 Item FormatSelected Response Constructed ResponseTechnology EnhancedSample StemsState Assessment Content Limits/Boundaries Classroom Work Should Include ExtensionLimited to positive rational numbers and benchmark fractions.Limit data set to no more than five values when calculating MAD.Calculator DesignationYES – a calculator will be available for items

Parental Guidance
We will use Google Slides and Gimkit in this class, which do not require a login. We also use IXL. Students will be given a username and login. An email address and last name is not required.
Pre-Requisites
Students should have already completed instruction of 6th grade math concepts. This class is meant to be a summer review over standard 6th grade topics and not a substitute for a full year of instruction.
Supply List
It is recommended students use a "math notebook." In this notebook, students can take notes on skills to refer back to during their practice.

TEACHERS:
Kristina Rinard (Owner)
I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years and a vice principal for 5 (I promise I won't give you my principal look). Since then, I get to share my love for education with preservice teachers as an adjunct professor at the university level. Teaching Certificates include Elementary Education, Cross-Categorical Special Education, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Google Certified Level 1. My degrees include a Bachelors in Elementary Education/Special Education  from Northwest Missouri State, a Masters in Teaching from Webster University, and a Specialist Degree in School Administration from Northwest Missouri State.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
We believe that students learn through personal action. Though we frequently use standards to guide instruction, we work to make our classrooms student-centered. Our classes often feature games and investigative activities. 

Students of all backgrounds and learning abilities are welcome in our classrooms. If there is an accommodation you'd like us to make for your child, please reach out. Our classrooms are safe spaces. 

INFORMATION:
We'd be happy to set up a private section for homeschool pods or groups of students wanting to create a consistent experience together. Just shoot us a message and we will work something out!
