This week the 6th graders are finishing up our 1st chapter in the new Math textbook. The chapter has been filled with review lessons your child and hopefully seen before. Here are the lessons we covered:
1. A review of whole number operations-simple math computation
2. Estimation-students round numbers and complete the math problem
3. Powers and Exponents- students label the base, exponent, and power to find the value
4. Order of Operations- A favorite among 6th graders, they follow steps to solve expressions with multiple operations.
5. Variable and Expressions- a introduction to Algebra, students solve expressions and equations with variables
6. Equations and Mental Math- Students find the value of a variable within an equation
7. Problem Solving- Students use different steps and strategies to solve word problems
This book offers many reviews and tutorials. On pages 47-50, students can find sample problems with suggestions and hints to solve. You can also find extra problems in the back of the book or on-line using the instructions on the fist page of the book. The activation code for our textbook is 2432737-180
