Today we finished our notes over Multiplication and Division equations. Then, students practiced equations with a partner. We'll continue practicing equations tomorrow.
Monday, October 22nd
Today students received their weekly spiral homework along with their Unit Project assignment. Students are required to complete a Board Game Project this unit. I am giving them the project requirements today. If they wish to work with a partner on the project they may. However, I will only have 2 class day's set aside for them to work on this. The majority of the project will have to be completed outside the classroom. The project due date is Friday, November 9th. This gives students 3 full weeks to work on their project.
After giving out project assignments and going over requirements we then recapped our lesson from Friday over solving one-step addition and subtraction equations. Students proved their understanding by completing a brief practice sheet in class. A few did not finish and are required to finish for additional homework tonight. Then, we moved on to multiplication and division equations. Students watched about 4 minutes of the video you see on the side. Then, we began notes. We only got the header and some of the important reminders written down before the end of class. We'll continue multiplication and division equations tomorrow. |

Friday, October 12th
Today we learned how to apply our current understanding of the distributive property and factoring to expressions involving variables. Students have been using the distributive property in combination with the GCF to factor and rewrite addition problems for the last month on their weekly spiral homework. Today they got to see how these problems have impacted what we're currently learning. Students were amazed at how easy today's lesson came to them based on their previous knowledge.
We finished our notes and then students worked independently through a distributive property maze. They were able to ask 3 students that surrounded them for assistance if needed. Then, after 13 minutes we went over all the answers to the maze. We have a 98% success rate in both Advanced classes!
Students also received their Study Guide for the Expressions Test that will be given next Thursday! Next week students will not receive a weekly homework sheet due to the shortness of the week. Instead they'll focus on their Test and any other additional assignments they may accumulate.

Today we continued combining like terms. Students finished notes and we began an interactive Quizlet Live. We'll continue with Quizlet live tomorrow.
Tuesday, October 9th
Today we reviewed Properties from yesterday and then moved on to learning about "Like Terms". We've already covered the meaning of "Term" in math, but haven't covered the topic of Like terms. We watched a humorous video about a gentleman placing an insane order in a fast food restaurant to get us hooked into the topic. Then, we discussed how the order could be simplified. Afterwards, students were given their own term and asked to group themselves together according to those within the room that had the same "type" of term they did.
After we discussed our grouping of terms we began notes.

Thursday, September 20th
Today we continued working with distance on the coordinate plane. Students were able to get a good grasp of finding distance through 1) identifying whether or not ordered pairs were in the same quadrant, and 2) either finding the difference of their absolute values or the sum of their absolute values.
Tomorrow we'll look over character graphs one last time and then begin Reflections!

Friday, August 24th
Today we graded our weekly homework sheet in class. Those that have been absent and returned today sat in the hallway and worked on their sheet while we graded.
Then, students received several graded paper. We reviewed each paper students received and they were given an opportunity to ask questions about problems they missed. If anyone made a score below 70% they may correct all the problems they missed on a separate paper and turn the corrections and the original in to me on Monday. I'll review the corrections and bump their grade up to a 70%.
Afterwards, students worked with a partner on the two dividing fractions sheets. Many still are not finished. We'll take time to finish in class on Monday! Please use the weekend to complete your project!!

Today we reviewed Wednesday night's column of homework problems. Then, students were given a change to ask questions on the project that's due next Tuesday. Afterwards, I reworked the first two problems on the "Cross Them Out" multiplying fractions sheet. The sheet is due in class tomorrow.
Then, we moved on to dividing fractions. Dividing fractions is simple if you know how to multiply fractions. Students learned a catchy song about dividing fractions on www.flocabulary.com, then we took notes over how to use models when dividing, and then they learned the standard way to divide fractions. We'll continue dividing fractions and mixed numbers for the remainder of the week.

Today we reviewed Wednesday night's column of homework problems over Long division. Then, we watched the Math Antics video located to the right of the screen. Next, we took notes over Long division. Students remembered the 5 simple steps from elementary school. However, we needed to add in how to turn the remainder into a fraction and how to add a decimal and a zero to keep going. We worked 4 examples out together in our notebooks. Then, students glued in 9 additional examples on the back of today's notes page. We'll complete the 9 additional examples in class tomorrow.
Additional Homework: Finish the Decimal Practice paper from yesterday. It's due tomorrow. |

Then, we finished notes over LCM. Afterwards, students had 12 minutes of class time to complete #1-15 on a LCM practice sheet. Those who did not finish #1-15 need to finish tonight. Next, students began notes over The Distributive Property & GCF. This is where we use the distributive property in combination with factoring to rewrite the sum of two numbers. This concept can be a bit complex at first, but students should catch on quickly. We'll finish up the steps tomorrow and then they'll get to work with a partner on some real life applications. |

What do I need to know to get started??
Welcome to 6th Grade Advanced Mathematics! Listed below you'll find the class syllabus along with a google slides presentation about math class in general. The syllabus contains EVERYTHING you need to know in order to be successful in Advanced Math. The presentation is more of a general overview of the math class and procedures.
