Because Junior High Math is a three-year program, we focus on mental math, computation skills, and problem-solving strategies that build throughout the 6 th, 7 th and 8 th grade years and will prepare the students for high school. We combine individual and group work, as well as traditional testing, partner assessments, the First in Math program, Smartboard and netbook technology, and hands-on projects and activities that offer real-life learning opportunities.
Areas of focus for 6th Grade include:
Fractions (all operations)
Decimals (all operations)
Percents
Changing between Fractions, Decimals and Percents
Ratios and Unit Rates
Factoring and Multiples (LCM, GCF, Prime Factorization)
Area/Volume/Surface Area
Simple Algebraic Equations
Simple Exponents
Introduction of Integers and Absolute Values
Analyzing Data, Graphs, and Statistics.
