This FLEX class is perfect for students who missed a part of 6th grade math previously or who need a class outside of the offered times of the live class. In addition, it's useful for enrichment or for who could use extra practice with 6th grade math skills. Due to the nature of FLEX classes, I can be flexible about start dates. If you do not see a date that works for you, please send me a message and we can schedule a start date that works for you.

This complete course, combined with the three other units, is designed for 6th grade students and will prepare them for taking 7th grade math or a pre-algebra class. It covers all of the 6th grade skills needed for students to feel confident before moving on to higher level math courses. 

This is unit four out of four total units of 6th grade math. The four units make up the complete course. Below, you will find the list of units.

Unit One: Expressions and Integers  (5 weeks)
Unit Two: Computation (7 weeks)
Unit Three: Ratios and Statistics (7 weeks)
Unit Four: Equations and Geometry (6 weeks)

Unit Four covers the following topics:

Week One: Solving Equations with addition and subtraction
Week Two: Solving Equations with multiplication and division
Week Three: Writing and Graphing Inequalities
Week Four: Area and Circumference of Circles
Week Five: Area and Perimeter of Composite Figures
Week Six: Surface Area and Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Each week, I will provide an interactive lesson using Pear Deck covering the topic(s) of the week. Included in the Pear Deck lesson will be instructional videos, notes, and practice problems. I create the videos myself and save them on YouTube. They are then embedded into the Pear Deck lesson. I will post note pages that follow the interactive lesson and that students can use to follow along with the presentation. In addition, I will post two homework assignments. These assignments will include a variety of questions that cover the topic of the week. Sometimes, review questions and challenge questions will also be included. I will provide thorough feedback on any assignments turned in to me. I can also provide grades at parents' request. In addition to the homework and interactive lesson each week, I will share a problem-solving challenge. Students will also have the opportunity to play games related to the topic in either Kahoot or Blooket. 

My goal for students is that they learn to feel comfortable and confident with the necessary 6th grade skills. Due to the nature of a FLEX class, the only way I will know when a student needs help will be by assessing the assignments they turn in or if they ask questions. I offer 20 minute live sessions each week for any students that need some extra help. I am also available through the classroom discussion page or through private message.
