This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 6th grade Math content.
This resource accompanies our Rethink 6th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning.
In this 1-2 week engineering design lesson, students will design and build water filters out of natural materials to simulate a filter system (bioswales) that cleans storm-water runoff before it soaks into the ground or enters a city’s storm-drain system. Their ultimate goal is to determine the combination and sequence of materials that best clean polluted water. Using materials easily found in pet stores and garden centers, students use the scientific method, students design to test and retest their designs and record, display and analyze their results.
In this lesson, students are given box plots of at least two data sets and will comment on similarities and differences in the distributions.
In this lesson, students are given a data set to describe the data collected, including the number of responses, mean or median, and the MAD or the interquartile range (IQR).
In this lesson, students are given a frequency histogram to describe the data collected, including the number of responses, an estimate of the mean or median, and an estimate of the interquartile range (IQR) or the mean absolute deviation (MAD).
In this lesson, students match the graphical representations and numerical summaries of a distribution.
