Course Description
To help students transition smoothly into middle school mathematics with strong logical reasoning, problem-solving confidence, and the ability to connect mathematical concepts to real-life contexts.
Grade 6 is the first year of middle school, where students expand their skills beyond basic computation to advanced number theory, ratio and proportion, expressions and equations, and data analysis.
Following the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding, strategic thinking, and application. Students are trained to explain their reasoning clearly, justify solutions, and choose the most efficient strategies for different problem types.
