Course Information
6th/7th Compacted will be a rigorous, fast-paced course designed to introduce skills, concepts, and assessment methods to prepare students for success when they take AP and other challenging courses in 8th grade and in high school. Topics will be studied with the goal to expand the student’s knowledge of number relationships, operations with fractions, algebraic equations and functions, data analysis, ratios and proportion, percents and decimals, probability, and geometry. Connections to other disciplines, communication through writing, and utilization of real world problem solving will be included. Critical thinking skills will be built upon. Students taking this course should have strong independent study/work habits.

Classroom Expectations
First and foremost, I expect my students to challenge themselves, pursue growth, be life long learners, and set personal goals. It is just as important that my students have as high expectations for themselves as I do for them. The students that enter my class are a family, and it is my expectation that all students will give respect to each other, myself, and our learning environment. We are a community of learners, and students will be expected to work together and collaborate.
If students work hard, complete assignments promptly, maintain a positive attitude, and seek help when necessary, then they will leave prepared and ready for 7th grade.
*If you find you are struggling in math, please come see me or another teacher during tutorials in the mornings from 8:30-8:55 in the sixth grade hallway. I am also available sometimes during study hall, but please note that this can be a particularly busy time if you are needing a lot of assistance.
