Hi! Welcome to our IM Math 6 class. My name is Sarah Fineman, and I'm thrilled to travel this math journey with you and your family. I love teaching math and look forward to lots of learning and fun this year.
This year will bring new learning, new challenges, and lots of math thinking and fun for us all. I encourage you to take some time to explore the resources here to support your understanding of IM Math 6 and how it develops your child's math thinking and problem-solving.
Homework, Quiz, and Test Corrections:
I accept corrections on homework, quizzes, and tests. Corrections for homework and quizzes should be done on a separate piece of paper and stapled to the original homework. Only incorrect problems need to be redone. Homework and quiz corrections are accepted for full credit when done, showing full work and any necessary explanations. Corrections can be completed at home or in class. Please also feel free to assist with these corrections. For homework, watching the videos available on THIS page may be helpful. The teacher goes through the answers.
Test corrections are accepted for 1/2 credit. They can be done on THIS correction paper, or any paper if done in this way. Test corrections are done only for problems missed. Problems must be completely redone, explained, and the mistake must be noted (careless, computational, or conceptual). Corrections should be stapled to the original test. Corrections can be done at home, during in-class work time, or during lunch math club. Please feel free to assist with test corrections. At the test correction point, it is time to lend a hand and advice.
Math Supplies: Your child will need a 2-pocket folder to help organize their math life.
