08/17/2013 21:37

The 6th grade math curriculum focuses on the following concepts: 

  • Order of Operations
  • Integers
  • Equations
  • Expressions
  • Translating expressions
  • Coordinate graphing
  • Fractions, decimals, and percents
  • Multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers
  • Multiplying and dividing decimals
  • Estimating
  • 3-D figures
  • Similar and congruent figures
  • Area and circumference of a circle
  • Measurement
  • Central tendency
  • Analyzing graphs
  • Patterns
  • Counting Principle.

 

The 6th grade math extensions curriculum covers the same concepts, but at a much faster pace.  We will also cover many 7th grade concepts throughout the year such as Ratios, Proportions, Percents, 2-step Equations, and Inequalities.

 

The 7th grade Math Extensions curriculum is a fast-paced, accelerated curriculum designed to cover the majority of 7th and 8th grade curriculum, preparing students to take Algebra next year.

The concepts covered in pre-algebra are:

  • Expressions
  • Relations
  • Scatterplots
  • Integer Operations (add, sub, mult, divide)
  • Graphing in all 4 Quadrants
  • Translations and Reflections
  • Rational Numbers
  • Distributive Property
  • Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
  • Solving 1-step and 2-step Equations
  • Perimeter and Area
  • Equations with Variables on Both Sides
  • Inequalities
  • Multi-step Equations and Inequalities
  • Ratio, Proportion, and Percents
  • Scale Drawings
  • Dilations
  • Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
  • Graphs
  • Representing/Writing Linear Equations
  • Rate of Change/Direct Variation
  • Slope/Slope Intercept Form
  • Multiply/Divide Monomials
  • Negative Exponents
  • Scientific Notation
  • Powers of Monomials
  • Linear and Non-linear functions
  • Squares and Square Roots
  • Real Number System
  • Triangles
  • Pythagorean Theorem
  • Distance Formula
  • Special Right Triangles
  • Angle/Line Relationships
  • Rotations
  • Polygons
  • Area of Parallelograms, Triangles, and Trapezoids
  • Area and Circumference of a circle
  • Area of Composite Figures
  • Measures of Central Tendency
  • 3-D Figures
