This mathematics course will continue to build upon skills developed in the areas of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.Ratios, proportions, and integers will be introduced to students to begin making the abstract connections in algebraic reasoning.Problem solving that applies to real-life situations is emphasized throughout the course and within each of the six content strands: number and number sense; computation and estimation; measurement; geometry; probability, statistics, and patterns; and functions with algebra.Manipulatives, calculators, and computers will be used where appropriate.Students enrolled in this course will take the Math 6 SOL assessment in the spring.
