We will be using the Simply Good and Beautiful Math 6 Course Set (goodandbeautiful.com, $69.97) which includes the 2-part Math 6 course book, an answer key, and access to the Math 6 videos.

This curriculum uses a spiral approach to consistently review prior concepts, so most lessons consist of:

• Warm-Up, an activity that applies to the lesson topic

• Video Lesson, providing detailed teaching and interactive guided practice of the lesson topic

• Mental Math Checkup, to quickly review mental math skills and facts practice

• Mini Lesson, a concise written lesson on the topic

• Practice, dedicated to the lesson topic

• Review, to solidify topics from previous lessons

Most lesson topics will be introduced in class, and initial group and individual practice provided. Some class time will be used for teamwork and hands-on activities. Most lesson pages will be assigned as homework. On average, students will need 20-30 minutes, 4 days per week, to complete each week’s assignment. A parent will need to check the student’s at-home work and provide immediate help and feedback.

Students will also need:

• Pencils

• Highlighter

• Colored pencils or markers or crayons

• Ruler

• 2 (standard) dice

• Protractor

• Folder with pocket and brads
