Welcome to Our Classroom!!! Math with Mrs. Tkacs, Mr. Kleinman, and Mrs. Hoschek Room 13

A Little Bit About Mrs. Tkacs… 5 th year teaching math Certified K-6 all subjects, Middle School Math, Middle School Science, and Middle School Social Studies Mother of two (son in 9 th grade and daughter in 6 th grade)

More about Mr. Kleinman… Has been teaching in the district for 31 years Works with all the 6 th grade math teachers on all teams Provides extra support and instruction for students Works in both small group and whole class settings

More about Mrs. Hoschek… Certified to teach K-6 all subjects and K 12 Special Education First year teaching in sixth grade Has 4 children, one currently in LIS Teaches with all 4 6 A content teachers

Classroom Expectations Each day, students are required to bring the following… Math binder Do Now notebook (provided) Textbook (provided) Pencil Netbook fully charged (provided)

Daily Routine Do Now Learn new content in whole group lesson Practice new skills (use stations, checklists, small group instruction) Utilize math websites Reflect with homework

Homework Should only take about 10 -15 minutes to complete homework each night Found on Tkacs’ Google Classroom Written on board and so must be written in planner by students! Posted on website (use only as backup) Short reflection on the day’s lesson correctness Will be reviewed weekly Mrs. Tkacs' Teacher Page

Tests and Quizzes No pop quizzes! Students will receive study guides or reviews for tests. Corrections can be made to any test or quiz lower than a 70, though must be signed by a parent and returned.

Grading Policy Homework = 10% Classwork/Projects = 20% Quizzes = 30% Tests = 40% * Students can make corrections on some quizzes and all tests lower than 70% to earn back half the credit lost! *You may check students grades 24/7 on Genesis.

Content Covered During 6 th Grade 6 Overview Ratios and Proportional Relationships Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. The Number System Divide fractions by fractions. Find common factors and multiples. Complete unit conversions. Expressions and Equations Evaluate algebraic expressions. Solve one-variable equations and inequalities. Analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables. Geometry Solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume. Statistics and Probability Develop understanding of statistical variability. Summarize and describe distributions.

Accelerated: Grade 6 Overview Ratios and Proportional Relationships Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. The Number System Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. Expressions and Equations Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Geometry Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Statistics and Probability Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population. Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
