Math 6 Curriculum

 

  Math 6 is the transition year from the topics of the elementary school curriculum, into middle school, and PreAlgebra.  

     The topics of fractions, ratios, properties of geometric figures, and others, will be done now in more depth, and with accompanying word problems. 

     We will study new topics of percentages, circles, data analysis and graphs, volume, and distance-speed problems. 

     PreAlgebra will now be introduced.  The class will cover working with integers, forming a simple algebraic expression, and exponents, solving simple linear equations, and other techniques.

 

      Math 6 is the culmination of elementary school mathematics, and all topics will be reviewed and presented rigorously.

 

Day:  Saturday

Time: 10:45am to 12:30pm

Semester start on September 20th.

   The class will prepare students to take the rigorous end-of-year NJ State Geometry exam, covering in depth, all topics in that course. 

    It will begin with Deductive Logic, used in all topics of Geometry (converses, inverses, contra-positives.) 

    We then go to properties and proofs involving parallel and perpendicular lines and move next to the congruence and similarity relationships in triangles. These concepts are also studied for other polygons. Special polygons like right triangles and quadrilaterals are studied intensively.  The class moves into properties of circles, e.g., arcs, chords, angles, and segments in a circle. 

    Coordinate Geometry, areas, and volumes of geometric figures (prisms, pyramids, etc.), transformations of graphs (shifting, stretching), and geometric constructions round out the course,
