Math Schedule

Our year is rapidly drawing to a close, but we still have to master The Top Twenty-five, the twenty-five most important math skills in the sixth grade. Remember, if we master these skills with an average of 80%, we will all get a WATERBALLOON CELEBRATION!! We take the test on May 27th, so we have a little over two months to go.

Here is the March/April calendar:

March 8-18, Topics 16/17 Measurement, Perimeter, and Area

March 22-April 1 Topic 19 Graphing

March 22-April 1 (Reteach) Topic 20 Probability

Let's buckle down and master those skills!
