In this full-curriculum course, students will learn, review and practice all crucial and required topics of the 6th grade math, including ratios, rates, integers, absolute value, expressions, equations, inequalities, variables, geometry, probability and statistics.

At the beginning of class, the students and teacher will have a discussion about the topic(s) of the week so the teacher can assess the students’ prior knowledge of the subject. 

Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and teach the topic(s) using the “I Do, We Do, You Do” method. This instructional method starts with the teacher giving an example, followed by the teacher and student solving a problem or completing a task together, then finally, the student is given a problem or task to complete on his/her own, with support given as necessary. All classes will include instruction, practice and application problems (word problems). Homework and review material may be provided after class, but it is optional. Any homework provided should take no longer than 30 minutes per week. 

Schedule: See syllabus 

Throughout the entire class, many discussion questions will be asked in order to promote critical thinking, to help the students to relate to the lesson and to introduce each topic within the lesson.

This class is best for any student ages 10 to 13, or those students looking to practice the 6th grade math objectives or skills. Students do not need to know the concepts or topics of the class beforehand. We will learn and review in class. 

The class materials will be presented via Google Slides and screen shared on the teacher's screen only. Learners will need nothing outside of the Outschool Zoom classroom.
