Class Description: Singapore math says that Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition "is a series of
rigorous elementary math textbooks and workbooks meant to be part of a system of learning in
which adult supervision and independent practice go hand in hand. The main feature of this
series is the use of the Concrete> Pictorial>Abstract approach. Students are provided with the
necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the
abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages
active thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving. Singapore
Math develops the foundation students will need for more advanced mathematics."
In grade 6, students will focus on algebraic expressions, fractions, ratios/percentages, area,
perimeter, and geometrical concepts.
Learning Goals/Performance Objectives: 6.1.E Multiply and divide whole numbers and
decimals by 1000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, AND 0.001.
6.2.A Write a mathematical expression or equation with variables to represent information in a
table or given situation.
6.2.C Evaluate mathematical expressions when the value for each variable is given.
6.3.A Identify and write ratios as comparisons of part-to-part and part-to-whole relationships.
6.3.C Represent percents visually and numerically, and convert between the fractional, decimal,
and percent representations of a number.
6.4.A Determine the circumference and area of circles.
6.4.B Determine the perimeter and area of a composite figure that can be divided into triangles,
rectangles, and parts of circles.
Learning Activities: The student will work through 1-2 units per month. Each unit is comprised
of 2-5 lessons. Students complete the workbook exercises. The textbook has the content and
then practice and review problems that may be done after the corresponding workbook
problems. There are 6 reviews (assessments) in book 6A and 8 reviews in book 6B.
