COURSE DESCRIPTION

6th grade math as an introductory middle level math course. Students will learn about statistical thinking and organizing data. Students also will learn about problem solving, exponents, and order of operations. Students will also learn basic Algebra and Geometry. By the end of this course students should also be able to perform operations using numbers other than whole numbers. This includes working with decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers. Students will learn to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions. They should also understand how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers.
