This year we will continue to build and expand off concepts you began exploring in 5th grade, including working with parts of a whole, geometry, and algebra. We will be using the Connected Math Curriculum, which is focused on building knowledge and understanding of mathematics through hands-on investigations and working together .
Our year together in math will be focused on the journey to understanding, rather than just getting the "right answer." I am excited to welcome a class of unique students and appreciate that each of you has your own strengths, and ways of understanding math, as well as your own challenges. This year we will focus on how can we share our thinking and understanding with one another to become better problem solvers.
I am very happy to welcome you to the beginning of our special journey together this year in 6th grade math!
