Math & Science Curriculum

Math
Trimester 1

  • Understand the place value system: Recognize relationships and patterns in our base ten number system: billions to thousandths, round numbers, read decimals, compare decimals
  • Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundreths: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers and decimal number to hundredths
  • Know basic facts: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
Mathematical Processes:
  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
  2. Reason abstractly (apply math concepts to a new solution) and quantitatively (understand numbers and their meaning in context)
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
  4. Model with mathematics
Mathematical Proficiencies:
  1. Use appropriate tools strategically
  2. Attend to precision
  3. Look for and make use of structure
  4. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Trimester 2
  • Write and interpret numerical expressions: Write and interpret numerical expressions with parentheses and brackets using all four operations
  • Understand the place value system: Recognize relationships and patterns in our base ten number system: billions to thousandths, round numbers, read decimals, compare decimals
  • Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundreths: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers and decimal number to hundredths
  • Represent and interpret data: Use line plots to display data and be able to use data from the graph to answer questions pertaining to the data

  • Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical: Understands the x-axis and y-axis and the meaning of the tow numbers of an ordered pair to solve problems
  • Analyze patterns and relationships: Write numerical patterns using provided rules and recognize relationships between the different sequences.

  • Environments -  In this life science unit, students learn which factors are important for the survival of living organisms and conduct experiments to determine what these factors are. Set up a virtual aquarium and try to create a good environment for three different fish. Information about the curriculum materials can be found at: http://www.fossweb.com/modules3-6/Environments/index.html
  • Magnets & Motors - Magnets and Motors is a unit of 16 lessons about magnetism and electricity designed for 5th or 6th graders. It mirrors the historical development of our understanding and use of magnetism, electricity, and electromagnetism. The unit progresses through these phenomena in the same order that people first learned about them--magnets and compasses, electricity from batteries, then electromagnetism (electromagnets, motors, and generators). Opportunities are taken to integrate the science activities with other subjects such as language arts, mathematics, history, and geography.  Information about the curriculum materials can be found at: http://www.nsrconline.org/curriculum_resources/Grade6_MAG.html
