Curriculum Guide

Synopsis of Curriculum

The curriculum adjustments to the Math 6 advanced course were written to create a better placement for students that are working at a level beyond our current 6^th grade curriculum but are not yet ready to be advanced to Pre-Algebra for 6^th grade. In this curriculum, students will be exposed to all of the sixth grade curriculum with additional components such as working with negative numbers, fractions and decimals in a few additional units, and circles when they reach the geometry unit.

Because these things will be addressed throughout the year with these sixth grade students, their 7^th grade readiness unit in May will no longer be focused on integer operations but will instead be focused on introducing probability.
