Matemáticas de Singapur, 6.º grado (6B), geometría

This course is designed based on Singapore math and MATHCOUNTS Contest Books for current and rising 6th grade to establish strong understanding of math concepts, learn to apply mathematics to solve real world problems, and increase problem solving speed for the MATHCOUNTS competitions. Singapore math is a highly effective teaching approach that instills deep understanding of mathematical concepts, which is achieved through intentional sequencing of concepts. Some of the key features of the approach include the CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) progression, number bonds, bar modeling, and mental math. Instead of pushing through rote memorization, students learn to think mathematically and rely on the depth of knowledge gained in previous lessons. 
Our 6th grade math program consists of part 6A (this course) and 6B. Each part covers 9 topics (18 topics in total), and will be reviewed in 10 days, and 60 minutes each lesson. More than 200 questions and a "take-home" final exam will be reviewed with detailed solutions which are intended to guide students to identify a promising approach and to execute the necessary math. Students will be learning plenty of tricks to make 6th-grade math easy, and this course can also help students to prepare their Mathcounts competition as well.
