This class is intended for students who want to start 6th grade right.

Students will transition from elementary school Math approaches to the 6th grade curriculum. Basic Math and study skills will be emphasized while students are introduced to 6th grade Math topics. Special attention will be given to topics with which students struggle most.

Students will master basic skills, such as long multiplication, long division, and operations with fractions and decimals.  Students will be taught to keep a good math notebook, which will be checked weekly. Students will receive periodic assessments and weekly homework assignments covering new and review topics. The goal is to accelerate each student's transition into Middle School and  provide a source of confidence during their transition.
