6th+Period+Math

 6th Period Math Class   February   We will complete our unit on the relationship between fractions, decimals and percents with a unit project: Math in Art. So far, students have learned to convert between fractions, decimals and percents, and how to mentally calculate percents by breaking down problems into manageable chunks.  January

We will finish our unit on decimals this month, and students will begin learning about the relationship between fractions, decimals and percents. Students will learn to convert between fractions, decimals and percents in preparation for our next unit: Rates, Ratios and Proportions. More pictures of foldables on the way!

 December  We will be starting a unit on decimals, and students will be learning the relationship between fractions, decimals and percents. Students will learn to read and identify decimals to the thousandths place; add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals; and understand that each movement of the decimal point represents a number 10 times bigger than the number to the right, and 10 times smaller than the number to the left.  <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #404040; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 180%;">October <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;">We are rapidly finishing up our unit on fractions! Students are learning how to make a mixed number from an fraction and vice-versa. We continue to add entries into our interactive math notebooks. <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: left;"> **Welcome Back to School!** <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 200%; text-align: left;">This week, students added to their interactive notebooks!
