Unit 6 - All those rules!!!

Unit 6 introduces a bunch of new concepts and procedures, many of which will be important in future algebra classes. We are learning now to divide fractions, which can result in a quotient that is bigger than the dividend (Now, THAT's wierd!) and we are also learning about computing with negative numbers. These new algebraic concepts can be confusing, and when they're presented in the same unit, then it really can get tricky. If you have any questions about this unit, or if you've found a way of thinking about these problems that might help your classmates, please feel free to write a comment! I look forward to hearing from you!!

Welcome to the SAS Math 6 Blog!

This is a new adventure in technology for Math 6 and for me, so we will all be learning along the way! I hope this blog will provide my students an opportunity to ask questions and provide input into the topics we are exploring in Math 6. I will occasionally create blog topics for the students to discuss. These will relate to the concepts we are learning in class. Sometimes I will ask students to provide their feelings about how they fared on a test or project. This blog will be a way for our tech-savvy students to voice their opinions and pose questions in a different venue.
