6th Grade- Area and Surface Area

Our 6th graders are taking their geometry skills to the next level. Building on what they learned in elementary school about simple rectangles, students will discover how to break apart and rearrange shapes to find the areas of parallelograms, triangles, and complex polygons. They’ll also dive into 3D geometry, unfolding prisms and pyramids into 2D "nets" to calculate their surface areas.

7th Grade - Scale Drawings

In this unit, students will learn how multiplying side lengths by a scale factor resizes a figure while keeping its angles exactly the same. They’ll apply these concepts to real-world scale drawings—calculating actual room sizes, mapping distances, and creating their own scaled designs. This unit builds a strong foundation for proportional reasoning later this year and 8th-grade geometry!

8th Grade Algebra

This year, students will explore Algebra through real-world modeling and collaborative problem-solving. Starting with one-variable statistics, using real data to analyze patterns and build teamwork skills. Students then master linear equations, inequalities, and two-variable data sets to represent real-life situations and constraints.

As the year progresses, students deepen their understanding of functions comparing linear, exponential, and quadratic relationships. Finally, they dive into quadratic equations, uncovering new numbers and solving complex problems. Throughout the course, hands-on mathematical modeling empowers students to explain their reasoning, connect ideas, and see how math brings the world around them into focus.
