Math

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.

Testing

  • Mark your calendars! Attendance is crucial during the weeks leading up to and including the GMAS exams.
  • Know the numbers! If your student has failed to meet grade-level expectations in past years, help them prepare at home. Challenge your proficient student to move to distinguished!
  • Ask questions! Ask your student how they are preparing and how you can help. Remind them of resources!
  • Believe! GMAS is one indicator of learning – and it is powerful. Talk to your child’s teacher if you have questions.
