Good evening!
This week is packed with a lot of information! Please practice multiplication facts with your child as often as possible. They should know 0’s - 12’s in 6th grade. Not knowing these facts is requiring them to spend extra time here and less time on the new content they are just learning. This week we will be working on decimals, beginning with addition and subtraction. There will be some homework and a couple of quizzes along the way when they are ready. Student’s will need to multiply and divide decimals, which relies heavily on knowing their multiplication tables for both. We touched on decimals earlier this year and students struggled when it came to multiplying and dividing. The state requires students to be able to perform the operations on decimals (add, subtract, multiply, and divide) without a calculator. If you are curious as to the other content we will cover this semester, the breakdown is projected to be as follows: 1st 9 weeks: LCM, GCF, Decimals, Fractions, Division of Whole Numbers, and Exponents. 2nd 9 weeks: Ratios, Unit Rate, Integers, Rational Numbers on a Number Line, and Ordering Rational Numbers, Absolute Value of Rational Numbers. 3rd 9 weeks: Read, Write, and Evaluate Numerical Expressions, Equivalent Expressions, Writing and Solving Equations and Inequalities. 4th 9 weeks: Area of Geometric Figures, Volume, Coordinate Plane, Polygons, Surface Area Statistical Questions, Data Distribution, Central Tendency and Data Sets, Dot Plots, Box Plots, and Histograms, and Summarizing Numerical Sets. The grades 5–8 mathematics assessments and the Math I assessment will consist of four- response-option multiple-choice items and about twenty percent gridded- response items requiring numerical responses. All items will be worth one point each. All NCSCS mathematics assessments will include both calculator-active and calculator-inactive sections. One-third to one-half of the grades 3–8 assessments will be comprised of calculator-inactive items; approximately one-third of the high school assessments will be calculator inactive. Domain Grade 6 Ratios and Proportional Relationships 12–17% The Number System 27–32% Expressions and Equations 27–32% Geometry 12–17% Statistics and Probability 7–12% Total 100% Looking forward to a great week!
