Welcome to Accelerated Math 6! This class focuses on the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics
for Grade 6 and parts of the Grade 7 standards. Students will have many opportunities to develop
mathematical knowledge, skills, and conceptual understanding of various mathematical topics, as well as
become more proficient problem solvers.
Please visit http://www.corestandards.org/Math/ for a more detailed description of the Common Core
State Standards in Mathematics for Grade 6 and 7.
Note: This is an advanced course that will be moving at an accelerated pace and covers 1.5 years of math in one school year. Students must maintain an average of at least 80% in the class for each semester to qualify to be placed into the Accelerated Math 7 class next year. Support will be provided to students who need additional help --- be sure to ask for help if you need it :)

NOTE TO PARENTS:
At the end of this week, we will complete our second formative assessment in math class (Goal Problems #2) related to solving ratio problems. This is NOT part of a student's math grade, but scores will be entered on Aeries to show students and parents how well a student is performing on this specific learning target. The paper will be returned to students on Mon/Tues of next week and can be used as a study guide for improvement.
Scores:
4: Student work shows a solid understanding of ratio concepts.
3: Student work shows a good understanding of ratio concepts. The student may have made minor errors, or needs practice in working on problems that have fractional parts, or practice in justifying one’s thinking.
2: Student work shows some understanding of ratio concepts. The student needs more practice (See online options below and/or come to PAWs!)
1: Student work shows little understanding of ratio concepts. The student needs help and more practice (See online options below and come to PAWs!)
Students who have earned scores below a “3” could build their understanding of ratios by:
1) View the short videos below and try the practice problems.
Visualize Ratios on Khan Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-ratios-rates#pre-algebra-visualize-ratios
2) Retry Goal Problems #2.
3) Come to PAWs for more practice!

Assignment
Students completed their first Goal Problems this week. Goal Problems will be used frequently in math class to help monitor how well a student is understanding the current concept. Goal Problem scores will be visible on Aeries, although the score does not effect a student’s overall math grade.
The Goal Problems are like practice test problems. Students will examine the mistakes that they made to further learn the topic and target their practice for the Unit Test. (Note: our first Unit Test will be coming at the end of September).
Generally, students may have low Goal Problem scores in the beginning of a unit (since students still have a lot to learn about the concept). As we get closer to a Unit Test, Goal Problem scores should increase (to show a deeper understanding of the concept).
Back to School Night (for parents) is on Wed, Sept 26. Look forward to sharing more information with parents at that time!
