Description

This is a full-length online Honors Grade 6 mathematics course for accelerated students. This course reviews concepts from grade 5 mathematics, is aligned to Grade 6 Common Core Mathematics, and exposes students to additional above grade mathematical topics. In this course, students will be introduced to the theory and applications of rational numbers. Modeling and real-world problems are emphasized throughout the course. This course develops problem solving skills through numeric manipulation and visual representation of the topics presented, and prepares students for Honors Pre-Algebra.

Online course materials, such as videos, lessons, interactive web pages, and practice problems with solutions, are provided. Students progress through the course at their own pace and are expected to watch videos and review notes regularly. Each student is assigned to a CTY instructor to help them during their course. Students can contact their instructors via email with any questions or concerns at any time. Live one-on-one online review sessions can be scheduled as well to prepare for the graded assessments, which include homework, tests, written assignments, and cumulative exams.

Instructors use virtual classroom software allowing video, voice, text, screen sharing, and whiteboard interaction. Students are strongly encouraged to work on the course at least 1 hour a day, 5 days a week (for a 6-month enrollment) and communicate frequently with their instructors.

Topics include:

Expressions and Equations
Operations with Equations and Inequalities
Integers
Rational Numbers
Ratios and Rates
Measurements and Percentages
Statistics
Geometry
Explorations in Mathematics

For a detailed list of topics, click the 'List of Topics' tab.

This course has synchronous virtual class meetings, but participation is optional. Students may also schedule one-on-one virtual meetings directly with the instructor to answer questions or concerns. View the schedule on the Help Room tab for class meeting times. Meetings will be recorded for students who are unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

Virtual classrooms, and student activities in the classroom, may be recorded and added to the course as an ongoing asset for all class students to review. Students may be invited to interact in CTY community spaces that include students and instructors and potentially specially invited guests that are not enrolled in their course. Student contributions (e.g., projects, forum posts, etc.) may remain in the course after the student completes the course. These artifacts may be preserved to showcase student work or to continue important conversations.
