RAMP 6

1205020G Grade 6 Year

In SCPS’ most accelerated math pathway (indicated in gold), RAMP 6 is the pre-algebra prerequisite course for 6th grade students intending to enroll in Algebra 1 Honors as 7th graders and Geometry Honors as 8th graders. Upon completion of Geometry Honors in 8th grade, students in this pathway then complete four additional advanced math courses in high school.

In RAMP 6, students are placed with other 6th graders in a Grade 7 Accelerated class, where they learn approximately one-half of the 7th and all the 8th grade B.E.S.T. Math Standards. To view the standards aligned to this course, follow this link: https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7576/urlt/Grade-7-Accelerated.pdf. Please note that families of rising 6th graders who wish to slow this rigorous accelerated math pathway should instead enroll their student in Grade 6 Accelerated (indicated in dark blue). These students will then take Grade 7 Accelerated as 7th graders and Algebra 1 Honors as 8th graders.

• Convert between customary and metric systems.

• Construct and analyze histograms, stem and-leaf plots and circle graphs.

• Determine, compare and make predictions based on experimental and theoretical probability of independent and dependent events.
