Middle School Mathematics
Grade 6 Mathematics
This course acts as an introduction to mathematics at Rothesay Netherwood School. As such, it attempts to aid students in developing a positive attitude toward the continued study of mathematics. Students will begin to develop the ability to communicate appropriate mathematical symbols and language as fundamental skills and practises are taught and reviewed through a variety of techniques. They will also learn to become independent thinkers and to work collaboratively with others.
This course provides students with skills necessary to understand mathematics and the ability to use mathematics in their daily lives. In this course students review a number of topics from earlier grades and begin to sample what's ahead. They use a pre-IB text, and study the following topics: number systems and properties; operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals; percentage, algebra and equations; problem solving, which is done throughout the duration of the course. Students also use technology regularly and are exposed to a variety of learning situations.
