Accelerated 6th Grade

This class covers topics in greater depth and at a faster pace than other advanced courses.

Topics include the real number system, algebraic reasoning, solving multi-step equations and inequalities, proportional relationships, graphs, percents, analyzing and displaying data, geometric figures, measurement, and probability. There is an emphasis on solving word problems.

While these topics are similar to those offered in most classes, more emphasis is placed on theory and application in this advanced version. The class moves at an accelerated pace.

The text used in this class is: Mathematics, Grade 7. Holt McDougal 2012.

Students have access to an online text book.

In order to qualify for this class, a student must have a NWEA RIT score of 237 in Math and 85% on the previous year’s math final. To remain in this class a student must maintain a B (86%) trimester average.
