How to Subtract Mixed Numbers with Regrouping!

Sometimes when you subtract, the fraction that you are taking or subtracting from is too small. When this happens, you need to Regroup. In other words, you need to take one from the whole number and add it to your fraction. By doing this, you are making your fraction bigger. Click on the link below to watch a video showing how it's done!

As your Math 6 SOL is soon approaching, you should be studying and reviewing your SOL packets and studying the items that are not familiar to you. You need to know how to work with decimals, fractions, and percents; including how to convert them and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

Math Reference Sheet Coming Soon!

Dear Parents,

Your student’s Math SOL is soon approaching (June 1^st), and the teachers at FMS have put together several items/tools to help review the concepts and standards learned throughout the year.

An SOL Math Reference Sheet (packet) was given to your student on May 19^th and we are asking the students to bring it with them to class every day. In addition to using it in class, we are asking the students to study the packet for a minimum of 15 minutes each night.  A quiz on the material will be administered after.

Quiz 1: Covers the front and back of page 1     

Quiz 2: Covers the front and back of page 2

We will have a quiz on the four properties that you learned about today 0n Wednesday. Tomorrow we will look at more rigorous examples of these properties. Thank you for a great day!

Message about Homework tonight!

Since we had an assessment today on Coordinate Plane, the students were allowed to work on his or her homework in class when they finished the assessment. So if your student does not have any homework, it was because they finished it in class today. I would still check it if possible.
Thank you

When You Finish Today!

When you finish your work today, you may go to the following site to play Number Balls! When you have played several times, you may go to Reflex Math or Study Island (integers or central tendency).

Click Below for Number Balls
http://www.mathwarehouse.com/games/our-games/arithmetic-games/number-balls/play-number-balls/

The Mean is also called, "The Balance Point"

• Mean can be defined as the point on a number line where the data distribution is balanced. This means that the sum of the distances from the mean of all the points above the mean is equal to the sum of the distances of all the data points below the mean. This is the concept of mean as the balance point. 
• On a number line, this means the sum of all the points on the left side are equal to the sum of the points on the right side.

Hope You Are Enjoying Your Snow Days!

In 6th grade, the Mean is also called the "Balance Point". Please click on the link below and watch the video that describes the Mean as the Balance Point.

When You Finish Your SMI!

Thank you for your hard work on the SMI today. When you finish, you may visit any one of the following sites:

- Reflex Math

- Study Island
