COMMON CORE MATH 6 SYLLABUS
2020-2021
Ms. Schonian – Room 302
Email: jdaskalakis@sandi.net
In CC MATH 6, instructional time will focus on four critical areas
1. Connecting ratio, rate, and percentage to whole- number multiplication and division
and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems;
2. Completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number
to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers;
3. Writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations;
4. Developing understanding of statistical thinking (National Governors Association
Center for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers 2010m). Students
also work toward fluency with multi-digit division and multi-digit decimal operations.
STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Grading Policy (Projected Points per Unit/Chapter)
Chapter Tests……………………………………….... = 50 points
Quizzes…………………........................................... = 10 to 20 points
Chapter Notes/Participation………………………..... = 25 points
Homework and Classwork per week…. …………. = 15 to 25 points
(5 points per assignment submitted on Bigideasmath.com)
GRADE SCALE: 90% and above = A 80% - 89% = B; 70% - 79% = C
60% - 69 % = D Below 60% = F
Retaking Exams: Students may make corrections to chapter tests if they scored below
75%. The make-up test score will earn no more than a satisfactory grade (75%).
● Retake score 90% or higher… student receives 75% in grade book.
● Retake score 80% to 89%… student receives 70% in grade book.
● Retake score 70% to 79%… student receives 65% in grade book.
● Retake score below 70% will result in the average of retake and original score
Homework is a nightly expectation (Monday-Thursday). Understanding and completing
homework problems is important. It is also an opportunity for students to practice and
review skills learned in class. Parent support and participation is appreciated. Students
struggling with homework should schedule a time to meet with the teacher or visit during
posted office hours. Odd numbered textbook homework solutions are listed in the back of
the textbook. Students need to be checking their homework solutions and communicating
with the teacher if they would like extra help with completing homework correctly.
**Students will be submitting most of their homework solutions through BigIdeasMath.com
(textbook site).
Homework grades: Textbook homework assignments will be based on percentage correct
when submitted on BigIdeasMath.com
**Students will have instant feedback if the entered solution is correct. Students will have 1 or 2 opportunities
to revisie solutions to online homework assignments before they submit for grade.
50 - 64.9 %: 3pts
Above 80%- 5pts (full credit) 65 - 79.9%: 4ptsLate Homework Policy: Late/missed homework assignments will only be accepted if the student has communicated with the teacher regarding intentions to complete missing assignments. **Once class has taken chapter/unit test, missed homework assignments within that chapter/unit cannot be made-up. Absence: It is the student's responsibility to go to the website, classmate or see the teacher regarding missed work. ************************************************************************************************ ★ Continue to the next pages for Units of Study
MATH 6: Units of Study 2020 - 2021
Quarter 1 & 2
DOMAIN/CONCEPTS TEXTBOOK Common
REFERENCE Core
(Big Ideas Math)
Standards
GEOMETRY CH 4 & CH 8 6.G.1, 6.G.2,
Unit 1: Area & Surface Area 6.G.4
In this unit, students learn to find areas of polygons by decomposing,
rearranging, and composing shapes. They learn to understand and use
the terms “base” and “height,” and find areas of parallelograms and
triangles. Students approximate areas of non-polygonal regions by
polygonal regions.
RATIOS & PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS CH 5 (5.1, 5.2, 6.RP.1, 6.RP.2,
Unit 2: Intro to Ratios 5.3,5.4) 6.RP.3a
In this unit, students learn to understand and use the terms “ratio,”
“rate,” “equivalent ratios,” “per,” “at this rate,” “constant speed,” and
“constant rate,” and to recognize when two ratios are or are not
equivalent. They represent ratios as expressions, and represent
equivalent ratios with double number line diagrams, tape diagrams,
and tables.
Unit 3: Unit Rates and Percentages CH 5 (5.2, 6.RP.2,
In this unit, students learn to understand and use the terms “unit rate,” 5.3,5.4, 5.5, 6.RP.3a-d
“speed,” “pace,” “percent,” and “percentage,” and recognize that
5.6, 5.7)
equivalent ratios have equal unit rates. They represent percentages
with tables, tape diagrams, and double number line diagrams, and as
expressions. They use these terms and representations in reasoning
about situations involving unit price, constant speed, and measurement
conversion.
THE NUMBER SYSTEM CH 2 (2.1, 2.2, 6.NS.1
Unit 4: Dividing Fractions 2.3)
In this unit, students examine how the relative sizes of numerator and
denominator affect the size of their quotient when numerator or
denominator (or both) is a fraction. They acquire the understanding
that dividing by a/b has the same outcome as multiplying by b, then by
1/a. They compute quotients of fractions.Quarter 3 & 4

Unit 5: Arithmetic in Base Ten
In this unit, students compute sums, differences, products, and
quotients of multi-digit whole numbers and decimals, using
efficient algorithms. They use calculations with whole numbers
and decimals to solve problems set in real-world contexts.
EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS CH 3 6.EE.1
Unit 6: Expressions & Equations 6.EE.2
In this unit, students learn to understand and use the terms 6.EE.3
“variable,” “coefficient,” “solution,” “equivalent
6.EE.4
expressions,” “exponent,” “independent variable,” and
“dependent variable.” They begin to write coefficients next to 6.EE.6
variables without a multiplication symbol.
Unit 7: Rational Numbers CH 6 & CH 7 6.EE.5
In this unit, students interpret signed numbers in contexts 6.EE.7
(e.g., temperature above or below zero, elevation above or 6.EE.8
below sea level). They understand and use the terms “positive
number,” “negative number,” “rational number,” “opposite,”
6.EE.9
“sign,” “absolute value,” “a solution to an inequality,” “less
than,” “greater than,” and the corresponding symbols. They
plot points with signed rational number coordinates on the
number line and recognize and use the connection between
relative position of two points on the number line and
inequalities involving the coordinates of the points.
STATISTICS & PROBABILITY CH 9 & CH 10 6.SP.1,
Unit 8: Intro to Statistics 6.SP.2
In this unit, students learn about populations and study 6.SP.4
variables associated with a population. They describe
distributions (shown on graphical displays) using terms
such as “symmetrical,” "peaks," “gaps,” and “clusters.”
They work with measures of center—understanding and
using the terms “mean,” “average,” and “median.”
