2011-12 Lesson Plans
Letter of Expectations must be signed and returned by Friday, September 2.
Welcome to 6th Grade!
Math and Pre-Algebra resources can be accessed by clicking
on the link below. Math 6 homework worksheets can also be found on this link. Pre-Algebra homework worksheets and PowerPoint lessons are attached with the individual lessons below. Pre-Algebra students, please use your user name and password from the summer course to access the Holt website.
PRE-ALGEBRA TEXTBOOK PRACTICE - CLICK TO GO TO THE PRE-ALGEBRA TEXTBOOK PRACTICE ACTIVITIES.
If you are absent or reviewing for a quiz/ test, select the "Important for absent and review work" tag on the right side of the screen." (Make sure that you only select 1 box.)
There are several things that students will need for class:
1. A 1” 3-ring binder with some filler paper in it. This binder will be used for daily journal responses, math vocabulary, and other important notes. It will be graded twice each quartile and must be brought to class everyday. Students are asked to begin bringing it to class no later than next Tuesday, September 6.
2. Expo Markers – We use individual marker boards for practice activities in class. I ask that each student provide his/her own Expo (or other brand dry erase markers). This will reduce a large classroom expense and will likely result in more responsible use of the markers.
3. Calculator – preferably a fraction-capable model similar to TI30x. There are calculators in the classroom, but they will not be available for borrowing either in study hall or overnight where most homework is completed. Much of the work in the first half of the school year will be completed without calculators, but after that time we will use them frequently.
