Math 6 (Math A)

Math 6 (Math A) extends students’ understanding of algebra to include identifying and extending arithmetic and geometric sequences, writing and evaluation formulas and equations, and graphing in all four quadrants on the coordinate plane.  Students find angle sums and do constructions with 2D figures.  They develop and use formulas to find the area of 2D figures, including circles.  Frequency tables and circle graphs become the focus of organizing and analyzing data, as students explore misuse of data and measures of central tendency.  Students begin to compare theoretical and experimental probability, as well as work with rational numbers and exponents.   Computation includes all operations with decimals and fractions, order of operations, and ratios and rates.  Students in Math 6 (Math A) will go on to either Math 7 (Math B) or Investigations into Mathematics the following year.
