Due to the new math curriculum and trying to get everything figured out, I did not give out homework to all of the classes like I had planned. My blog is the plan for the week. Plans sometimes change.

I did send homework and the Topic 1 Summary home today (Friday, August 22, 2025). Students highlighted the questions I want them to work to help prepare them for the test we will have on Wednesday, August 27. The Topic Summary will have definitions and examples if the students need help with the homework. Also, I am available for help every morning from 7:30-7:50.

I thought we had a great first full week last week! Most students did a great job getting their homework turned in. I will have 2 to 3 grades posted in skyward by the end of the day so you can see how your child is doing so far.

Both Regular and Advanced Classes:

Monday-Ordering Rational Numbers-We have been working on comparing and ordering Integers, Decimals, and Fractions (by changing them to decimals). We will learn about percents so we can compare and order integers, decimals, fractions, and percents. Numbers should be in the same form to compare them.

HOMEWORK-Given on Monday. Due on Wednesday. We are still doing a review of 5th grade for homework. Skill Builders 9 and 10.

Tuesday-Task Cards with comparing rational numbers.

Wednesday-Classifying Rational Numbers.

HOMEWORK-Monday’s homework is DUE. New homework given on Wednesday. Due on Friday. Skill Builders 13 and 14.

I thought the first three days were really good! I am already enjoying getting to know each of the 6th graders! I’m working really hard at trying to remember all 120 names!

Regular Math (1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 7th periods)

Monday-We will work on some organization with our binders. The binders will hold all of our notes and practice problems and pretty much everything we do in math class. I will introduce Skill builders. These are pages that will spiral and work on a lot of skill throughout the year. We are actually starting with 5th grade skill builders as a review and then in a few weeks, we will start on the 6th grade skill builders. HOMEWORK: Skill Builders 1 and 2 are due by Wednesday!

Tuesday-We will take notes and practice Integers on the Number Line. REMINDER: HOMEWORK is DUE tomorrow!

Wednesday-We will take notes and practice Comparing and Ordering Decimals. Skills builders 1 and 2 are due. HOMEWORK: Skill builders 5 and 6 are due by Friday!
