This Week in 6th Grade
We specifically focused on Area of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids this chapter. Then we combined those skills to find the area of composite or unusual figures. It was a short chapter. If students concentrate their practice on using those three formulas then they should do great.
What are we learning?: How do you find area? What is the difference between area and perimeter, and how they useful in the real world?

So, you talked throughout the lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Just remember Google Classroom is where everything is at. Your child's passwords are all on the first page of their planner so please feel free to copy those down and peek through their accounts often. Here is a video on how to navigate Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/qoOe3ir5iqQ
IXL grading is a little different from other assignments. A 90% "smart score" in IXL is equivalent to 100% in FastDirect. Anything over a 90% is worth up to one bonus point...they add up so I encourage students to try it (especially on the easier assignments).
