In 6th grade Math, the curriculum is designed to strengthen students' basic math skills in preparation for higher level math courses.

  • Trimester 1 gives an in-depth review of key concepts from lower school math - number sense, patterns and algebraic thinking; decimal operations; data and statistics; fractions and fraction operations.

  • Trimester 2 covers integers, equations, inequalities, and functions.

  • Trimester 3 covers ratio and proportion, percents, and basic geometry concepts* (*only if time permits).

The students embark on a more involved, inquiry-based learning experience to help them overcome any pre-existing math phobias and to see the real-life value and fun of math.

The emphasis is jointly on learning how to “do" math and striving to understand why it's done that way. A solid understanding of the math fundamentals are designed to prepare students for explorations in algebra, geometry, and beyond.
