Course Length:
two semesters
Course Description:
Students begin the first semester of this course with a review of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers. More complex concepts are built on these basics. Students learn how to add, subtract multiply and divide integers, decimals and fractions. The course also includes lessons on ratios and proportions, ratios and rates, and proportional relationships.
In the second semester of grade 6 Math online course, we introduce students to the order of operations and how to use them in solving application problems. Building on these concepts, students are then introduced to the basics of algebra and algebraic expressions. Students then learn how to apply these problem-solving skills to percents and solving single and multiple-step equations. An exploration of Geometry, probability, and statistics concludes the second semester.
