Here in the sixth grade we believe that math is a verb.  We believe students should be active in math class, developing a sense of numbers and how and when to use them.  Number sense, spatial sense, problem solving, application, relevancy, thinking and communication are just a few parts of a much bigger picture.

The mathematics program we are using this year – Prentice Hall Mathematics –will help your child use mathematics effectively in daily life.  Through varied instruction we will provide a context to apply numbers in the real world.  Furthermore, using this series provides an environment for the development of numerical skills.  Our math study this year will begin with whole numbers and decimals. 

We hope that your child will enjoy Sixth Grade Mathematics.  Most importantly, we want your child to become more skilled at recognizing the multitude of uses for mathematics in everyday life, and gain experience in the various concepts that can be utilized.
