What's new this year?
Our 6th grade program now features a fully integrated STEAM education model. For those of you who are not familiar with the acronym STEAM it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. This introductory year will provide 6th graders with the foundation they will need to succeed in any STEAM related classroom. |
Course Description:
Course 1 Requirements: In Grade 6, instruction focuses on five critical areas: (1) developing an understanding of multiplying and dividing fractions; (2) developing understanding of and applying operations with rational numbers; (3) working with expressions, linear equations and inequalities; (4) working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (5) developing an understanding of statistical variability. Earth and Space Science Requirements: This content area focuses on a wide variety of topics. Students will engage in the study of natural phenomenon and interactions to determine cyclical patterns, cause and effect relationships, and the flow of energy through various systems. Technology and Engineering Requirements: The Engineer Design Process (EDP) and Scientific Method will be applied by students during their quest to develop solutions for complex real-world problems. Art Requirements: Students will be required to create visual interpretations of work including blueprints and graphic design; even for those who can only draw stick figures. |
