Grade 6 Mathematics

OVERVIEW

How do mathematicians think, write, and speak? Find out in Grade 6 Mathematics, where students will experience new ways of solving problems through interactive and engaging activities. With a focus on hands-on learning and real-world application, students will be exposed to foundational concepts needed for higher-level math study, including integer operations, equations, and statistics.
