June 5, 2017 Dear Parents: This summer we will have two options for summer math. The second option is for those who appreciate using a book more. 40 minutes a week of IXL 20 minutes a week of IXL and a workbook to be turned in the fall. It is very important for students to have a consistent exposure to math to keep the strong when returning to school in September. This is the reason, that I really don’t want students to simply complete a workbook over the course of a weekend and be done for the summer. I am asking my 5th and 6th grade students to play for at least 40 minutes a week. (That amounts to less than 6 minutes a day). I am looking for mastery of skills (90% or greater) for the skills covered in 5th and 6th grade. Students may choose to go up or down a level as they see fit with concepts. I will be checking periodically to see time spent on math. Students should be focusing on the following: 5th grade: 6th grade: Place Value Multiplication Addition and Subtraction Division Multiplication Exponents and square roots (parts of it) Division Number Theory Number Theory Decimals Decimals Add and Subtract Decimals Add and Subtract Decimals Multiply Decimals Multiply Decimals Divide Decimals Fractions and Mixed Numbers Fractions Add and Subtract Fractions Add and Subtract Fractions Multiply Fractions Multiply Fractions Divide Fractions Divide Fractions Mixed Operations Integers Measurement Operations with Integers Geometry Mixed Operations Ratios, Proportions, and Percent Money Consumer Math Expression and Properties One Variable Equations
