Start 30 days freeRatios, Relationships, and the Number System is the grade 6 math course in Letters & Devotion, eight units and 35+ hours. It is the year a child learns to think in ratios instead of just counting differences. It follows the Common Core State Standards.
The eight units
Ratios and Rate Reasoning. Dividing Fractions. The Decimal System. Negative Numbers and the Coordinate Plane. Expressions with Variables. Equations and Proportional Relationships. Area, Surface Area, and Volume. Statistical Distributions.
One idea, nine times
For every 3 of these there are 2 of those: that multiplicative relationship is used all year, to divide fractions, to make sense of negatives, to write algebra, to compute area and volume and to describe data.
The goal by June
A child is comfortable with signed numbers, one-step equations, decimals in all four operations, basic area, volume and surface area, and describing a data set with center and spread.
What comes next
Mathematics 7 is the grade 7 course, then Pre-Algebra in grade 8.
What this is not
- It is one course among many. You decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
- It is not nine separate topics. It is one idea applied repeatedly.
- A child who is behind is not stuck. The course is mastery paced and slows down when a child struggles.
