Sixth grade math kicked off with a full unit in Geometry. We explored area, volume and surface area. We also learned about perfect squares and perfect cubes. We call ourselves a 'Thinking Classroom,' based on the research of Peter Liljedahl, who found that students who were pushed to actively engage in problem-solving, collaborate with their peers, and think critically were more likely to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and retain what they learned longer. As a result, we work in groups both at our desks as well as at our white boards.
