COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The South Carolina College-and Career Ready (SCCCR) Mathematics Standards for 6th grade focus on deepening students' understanding of ratios, fractions, decimals, and the number system, while also introducing foundational algebraic concepts like expressions, equations, and inequalities. Students will also work with geometry, data analysis, and mathematical practices to develop problem-solving skills.
For a complete understanding of the essential knowledge and skills in mathematics, read the SCCCR Mathematics Standards in their entirety; the seven process standards will be incorporated throughout this course.
PRIORITY LEARNING STANDARDS FOR MATH 6
PRIORITY LEARNING STANDARDS FOR MATH 6
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Ratios and Proportional Relationships:
Students learn to understand and use ratio language to describe relationships between quantities.
They will use ratio reasoning to solve real-world problems, including creating tables, finding missing values, using unit rates, and plotting ratios on the coordinate plane.
2. The Number System:
Students extend their understanding of division to fractions and negative numbers.
They will fluently divide multi-digit numbers and decimals using the standard algorithm.
They will also find common factors and multiples, including the GCF and LCM.
3. Expressions and Equations:
Students will write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
They will also learn to solve one-step equations and inequalities.
4. Geometry:
Students will work with area, surface area, and volume.
They will find areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons.
They will also find surface areas of prisms and pyramids.
5. Statistics and Probability:
Students will describe and summarize numerical data sets, identifying clusters, peaks, gaps, and symmetry.
They will also learn to represent data using various displays like dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
6. Mathematical Practices:
The standards emphasize eight mathematical practices, including making sense of problems, reasoning abstractly, constructing arguments, modeling with mathematics, using appropriate tools, attending to precision, looking for and making use of structure, and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning.
MATERIALS
MATERIALS
Students should bring their chromebooks charged each school day. Daily, students will use a composition notebook and pencil. If your student prefers, they may want to have a highlighter or colored pencils for note taking in their workbook. A scientific calculator is encouraged but not required.

1) Be honest and take responsibility.
2) Be respectful of yourself, others, and our space.
3) Ensure all your words and actions are uplifting to those around you.
4) Don’t be afraid to make mistakes!
ASSESSMENTS
Students will show their working knowledge using a multiple choice and/or free response major tests. These tests will be reviewed in class and students will have the opportunity to re-do each test after a completed review assignment. There will be a Benchmark test each quarter covering all material taught in a nine-week period and may include material covered previously in the school year. Throughout a unit, I frequently check for working knowledge of our topics through McGraw Hill quick checks, classwork and quizzes.
HOMEWORK
Homework will consist of daily practice and an occasional graded assignment. Students will be required to complete 45 minutes per week of ALEKS online practice.
GRADES
Each quarter students will have the minimum of 3 major grades and 8 minor grades.
The students’ average will be calculated as follows:
Coursework
50%................Quizzes & Classwork/Minor
50%............................Tests & Projects /Major
Greenville County Scale
A 100 - 90
B 89 - 80
C 79 - 70
D 69 - 60
F 59 - 50
LATE WORK
LATE WORK
As described in the student handbook, page 21: Late work will not be accepted 7 days after the original due date.
REDO/RETAKE PROCEDURES
REDO/RETAKE PROCEDURES
As described in the student handbook, page 22
As described in the student handbook, page 22
Students may request one opportunity to redo each major grade. This request must be submitted
within one school week of the graded assessment being returned.
Before an assessment is redone, students must complete a re-learning opportunity.
The retake score will replace the original score.
Students may not redo work handed in late.
