The sixth grade math program will draw on student's prior knowledge and relates math to their everyday lives.  Math content is presented in manageable parts, and step-by-step instruction helps students master and apply skills while integrating algebra, geometry, data analysis, and problem solving.

Through a continuous process of building and checking understanding, sixth grade Math helps students understand and retain skills.

                                  7^th Grade

The seventh grade math curriculum deals with the following areas:

1. Interpreting Data and Statistics

2. Applications of Decimals

3. Algebra: Integers and Equations

4. Fractions

5. Using Proportions and Percents

6. Geometry Concepts

7. Geometry and Measurement

8. Using Probability

9. Algebra: Patterns and Functions

10. Graphing in the Coordinate Plane

Problem solving will be used with each area of the curriculum. We will be working on projects and other activities to supplement the textbook. All of these areas will help to prepare the students for the curriculum in the eighth grade.
