According to the Wisconsin Common Core State Standards and district policy, your child must master each of the 6th Grade HASD Essential Standards.
This year, we will be working on the following essential standards:
6.NS.A.1 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.
6.NS.B.3 Fluently multiply and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
6.RP.A.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
6.RP.A.2 Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to find proportionate ratios when solving real world problems.
6.EE.A.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
6.EE.A.2 Write, read and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. For example, “Subtract y from 5” as 5-y.
Throughout the year, my goal is to work collaboratively as a team. As part of this team, your child should:
- Complete practice work
- Use resources and study guides to prepare for assessments
- Play Prodigy
- Be prepared and participate in class
As a parent, you can:
- Have a dialogue with your child on what they are learning
- Provide real-world math examples
- Check-in with your child to make sure they are completing practice work/Prodigy
- Communicate with the teacher about any successes and concerns regarding your child
As your child's teacher, I will:
- Provide support for your child in the classroom as needed
- If reteaching on the essential standards is necessary, I will support your child with small group instruction during class time
- If additional reteaching is required, I will provide ELT time for your child to work on target practice
- Communicate with you about any successes and concerns regarding your child
If we take this team approach, I am confident that your child will have a successful and enjoyable year in 6th grade!
