Welcome to Sixth Grade!

Math: We are learning about dividing fractions.

We will:

  • Use a variety of strategies to calculate quotients of fractions.
  • Solve problems that involve dividing fractions.
  • Describe connections between division problems, diagrams, and questions asking “How many groups?” or “How many in 1 group?” and explain a solution method using mathematically precise language.

Science: We are continuing our studies of Life Sciences.

We are working on:

  • From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
  • Cell Organelles and Functions
