6th Grade Math
This is a custom app called Figure App which does not exist in Composer elements. Please work with your Client Enablement Consultant or join a Best Practice Workshop on how to add the content using Composer best practices.
In Math, students must be able to divide with decimals and fractions, evaluate expressions with variables and exponents, and work with factors, multiples, and the coordinate plane. Additionally, students will have to accomplish some of these skills WITHOUT the use of a calculator.
Teachers work with students on a daily basis, unpacking assessment data and providing targeted support for students who have not yet mastered the required content. eCLASS pages are updated with resources, including practice assessments and writing prompts -- all as part of regular instruction.
In sixth grade, students must score at least 525+ for Proficient OR 580+ for Distinguished on the Math GMAS. In addition to meeting scoring requirements, ALL students are expected to show growth from the previous year’s testing.
