Common Fractions, Decimals, and Percents: Use flashcards or another method to memorize common fractions, decimals and percents for 1/2’s, 1/3’s, 1/4's, 1/5’s, 1/8’s, and 1/10’s.
Math in daily life: Take notice of times that you see math that we have learned in 6th grade in your daily life. For example, gaining yards and losing yard in football relates to adding and subtracting integers; finding a tip at a restaurant; finding the cost for one unit when items are sold together.
Practice the released 6th CST questions: Each year in May students take the California Standards Test in Math and Language Arts. Practicing the released questions helps you to know how the questions will be asked and what kinds of questions will appear. Google “6th grade released CST questions math” to find the released questions.
Learn something new: There are a lot of videos online that you can watch to learn a new math topic. You can ask an older family member to teach you something.
SuccessMaker: Students can use SuccessMaker to practice English Language Arts and Mathematics targeted to their level. CCMS students should be able to access the program using their school ID number. The website is:
