In 6th grade students complete their general math study. Students get a small introduction to algebra, but for the most part we focus on arithmetic with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. Students are able to use a calculator to check their work, but do not use them on tests or quizzes. In 6th grade we use Addison Wesley, which covers the following material:

Chapter 1 – Statistics & Real World Use of Whole Numbers

Chapter 2 – Connecting Arithmetic to Algebra

Chapter 3 – Decimals

Chapter 4 – Measurement

Chapter 5 – Patterns & Number Theory

Chapter 6 – Adding & Subtracting Fractions

Chapter 7 – Multiplying & Dividing Fractions

Chapter 8 – The Geometry of Polygons

Chapter 9 – Integers & the Coordinate Plane
