Chariton Middle School 6th Grade Accelerated Math Ms. Beatty [email protected] (641)-774-5114 2016-2017 Course Description: This course is designed to follow the Common Core State Standards for middle school math at an accelerated pace. The focus will be on domains in the Iowa Core Curriculum designated at the middle school level. Movement between grade level curriculums will happen. Rationale: The domains include: ● Ratios and Proportional Relationships ● The Number System ● Expressions and Equations ● Geometry ● Statistics and Probability Throughout the year there will be a tremendous focus on: (a) application of knowledge, (b) essential questions and concepts, and (c) making real-world connections. Because this is an advanced course, content will be instructed at an accelerated pace. The expectation is to complete 1½ years of math in one academic year. Course Schedule and Policies: This is a year-long course, which meets every day throughout the academic year. Attendance is crucial, as math naturally builds on itself. If there is an absence for any reason, the student is responsible for completing missed work, activities, and making up instructional time. Assignments and Grading: Assigned work out of the textbook is for practice. However, assigned textbook work is always expected to be completed to ensure understanding. Only assessments, tasks, and ixl grades will be included in the grade. The grade that a student receives is based on true assessment and should represent learning. This year Chariton is doing the Standards Referenced Grading. This is out of a four point rubric, which is located below. With this type of assessment, we can demonstrate student learning within each strand of the Iowa Core Curriculum.

Students will also gain online access to a virtual book as well as online activities, a home tutor, and video animated examples. Students also all have access to work on ixl on their computers at home. This is a website that lets you work on specific skills. Course Expectations: Students are expected to arrive to class on time, with all necessary materials. Every day a student should bring the following items: Planner, Pencil, Paper, Math Book, Notebook and Calculator. Students are expected to treat each other and their belongings with respect at all times. ● ● Course Standards- 6th Grade: Ratios And Proportional Relationships o Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. The Number System o Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. o Compute multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. o Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers. ● o o o Expressions And Equations Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables. o Geometry Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. ● ● Statistics And Probability o Develop understanding of statistical variability. o Summarize and describe distributions. ● ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Chariton Middle School 6th Grade Accelerated Math Ms. Beatty [email protected] (641)-774-5114 2016-2017 Core Standards-7th Grade: ● Ratios and Proportional Relationships ○ Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems ● The Number System ○ Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divee rational numbers ● Expressions and Equations ○ Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions ○ Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
