Grade 6, 7, 8 - chapter 1 math

Sixth Grade and Blue Math groups

Dear Parent or Guardian:
Students are often frustrated in math classes because they do not see how they can use the material in the real world. In our math class, however, we try to take mathematics beyond the classroom to a point where students realize and appreciate its importance in their daily lives.
In Chapter 1, Algebra: Number Patterns and Functions,
your child will be learning about problem solving, patterns, prime factors, the order of operations, variables and expressions, and  powers and exponents. Your child will also solve equations and find the area of rectangles. In the study of this chapter, your child will complete a variety of daily classroom, notes, assignments and activities.
Encourage your child by getting involved and watch their videos. You may also wish to log on to glencoe.com for self-check quizzes and other study help. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at school.

 Parent or Guardian:
One of the goals of this class is to relate concepts learned in the classroom to the real world. For example, integers are a part of our daily lives. They are often used to describe things such as sports scores, temperature, time, and money. Knowing how to work with integers helps us make important decisions at work and at home.
In Chapter 1, Algebra: Integers, your child will learn about developing a plan for problem solving, about variables, expressions, and properties, about graphing data, and about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. Your child will also learn how to find the absolute value of integers, and write and solve equations. In the study of this chapter, your child will complete a variety of daily classroom assignments and activities and possibly produce a chapter project.
Encourage your child by getting involved.  You may also wish to log on to glencoe.com for self-check quizzes and other study help. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at school.
