Course Description: Core Connections, Course 1(6th Grade Math) is the first of a three-year sequence of courses designed to prepare students for a rigorous college preparatory algebra course. It uses a problem-based approach with concrete models. The course helps students to develop multiple strategies to solve problems and to recognize the connections between concepts. This is a grouped based program with the overall goal that all students should be able to reason and communicate proficiently in mathematics.
Overview of the 6th Grade Common Core Standards:
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
The Number System
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.
Multiply and divide multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.

Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.
Geometry
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.
Statistics and Probability
Develop understanding of statistical variability.
Summarize and describe distributions.
Required Supplies needed every day for Math:
