Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to Sixth Grade Mathematics! This year you will grow to become very good at problem solving. You will learn how to add and multiply using mental math techniques. You will learn many new areas of math including: place value, GCF, LCM, fractions, percents, decimals, expanded notation, number sequences, estimation strategies, prime numbers, divisibility rules, GEMS, cryptarithms, visual spatial awareness, other number systems - binary, polygons and polyhedrons, perimeter and area of all polygons and polyhedrons, measurements, substitution problems, square and cube roots, triangular numbers, and line segments. <more>
Lesson Plan
Lesson Plan
Wednesday, December 4th (Day 60)
Next Up: Thursday, December 5th (Day 61) - More on LCM and Subsequent Division
Number Sense Unit - Solving for GCF and LCM - Introduction to LCM
Review factors, multiples, prime numbers and prime factorization. Number Sense contest round (Jeopardy).
Problem Solving Strategies - Just Do Something. Learners watch and discuss the "Broken Escalator Video."
Mini-Lesson - Introduction to LCM. Children try their hand at problem solving an LCM problem using lower-order approaches. The prime factor tree approach is demonstrated to introduce process-driven, stepped approaches to solving these problem types.
Vocabulary - We develop a definition for LCM and identify keywords that are in problem that signify using an LCM approach. We practice looking for these keywords in problems. <more>
Next Up: Thursday, December 5th (Day 61) - More on LCM and Subsequent Division
