During this math bootcamp, students will review multiple Common Core and traditional strategies for the main 6th grade math concepts. These include concepts of computation in all 4 math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) of fractions, an introduction to rates and ratios, solving basic algebraic equations and expressions, positive and negative integers, and an overview of the distributive property. The weekly schedule will be as follows: Monday: Fractions (All 4 operations: add, subtract, multiply, and divide) Tuesday: Rates and Ratios Wednesday: Positive and Negative Integers (number line, adding and subtracting) Thursday: Solving Basic Algebraic Equations Friday: Dive into the Distributive Property (Essential for algebra readiness) The goal of the course is to provide both a deep conceptual understanding of concepts by using drawings and images to illustrate the math that is occurring. Students will practice using vocabulary, properties, equations, story problems and puzzles to practice these concepts. The purpose of this course is to introduce upcoming material for incoming 6th graders or review material for who may have struggled or fell behind last school year.
