MATH
Welcome, Incoming 6th Grade Math Students!
Congratulations for taking the time to check out this WebPage before starting school. You are already on the right track for your Middle School years! Now that summer is waning, it is time to begin preparing for the year ahead. If you follow the tips below, you will be ready to hit the ground running for the 2018-2019 school year.
* Master your basic Math facts. You should be fluent in all addition/subtraction, and multiplication/division facts. Mastering these facts will free up your brain for all the problem solving you will be doing and new skills you will be learning this year.
* Spend some time thinking about the areas of Math that may have given you some trouble in the past. Search online for tutorials that can help you with these problem areas.
* Use your Simple Solutions book to review skills.
* Check out the mini poster below. Review each quality of a "Good Mathematician" and apply these to yourself. Do you possess these qualities? Are you ready to develop and strengthen them in the coming school year?

In the first trimester, we will begin with basic geography of the US and the World, the Five Themes of Geography, and the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. We will be like time travelers.....exploring the very beginnings of human civilizations and the part these early civilizations played in what we are today.
