Mathematics
In sixth grade math, students will learn the concept of rates and ratios and use these tools to solve word problems. Students will extend their previous work with fractions and decimals to understand the concept of rational numbers—any number that can be made by dividing one integer by another, such as ½, 0.67, or 9. Students will also learn how to write and solve equations—mathematical statements using symbols, such as x - 2 = 6 and apply these skills in solving multi-step word problems. If time permits, students will dabble in statisitcs using various types of graphs.

Science
In sixth-grade science, students will use the scientific method to test different properties and practice hands on measurement. Students will be introduced to the structure and function of the cell. A basic understanding of matter such as states, energy, heat, and temperature will be taught along with atomic theory. Students will also explore electricity, magnetism, and forces that shape the Earth's surface.
