The Math 6 Final Test will be on Thursday, May 29th.  The following Learning Targets will be on the test.  

 

EE1 – I can read, write and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions.

 

EE2 – I can apply the properties of operations to create equivalent expressions.

 

EE3 and EE4 – I can solve problems by writing and solving equations.

 

STATS 2 and 5 – I can organize data on a dot plot and can analyze the data.

 

STATS7 - I can find the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data.

 

NS1-  I can find the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12.

 

NS6 -  I can divide fractions by fractions and solve word problems using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

 

Ratios 2/3 -  I can solve ratio problems using tables, tape diagrams, double number lines, and /or equations.

 

Ratios 5-  I can find a unit rate and solve unit rate problems.

 

Ratios 7 - I can find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 and I can solve problems involving percents.

 

RN 2 - Find and position integers and their opposites and other rational numbers on a number line.

Unit 2 Test is coming on Tuesday, Dec 17th.  Start preparing now!  

See the "Unit 2 Test Practice" to the right.

The following topics will be on the test:

-  Finding least common multiple
-  Finding greatest common factor
-  Using the distributive property to simplify numerical expressions
-  Fluently add, subtract, multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers and decimals
-  Representing fractions using visual models
-  Dividing fractions by fractions using visual models

Nov 14

In the upcoming weeks we will be working with fractions.  After a few days of exploring general fractions concepts, we will move into ways to visually model the division of fractions.
