MATH AND MRS. WALTERS M&Ms HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
The AR Book list is on the Oak Grove Middle School homepage and reflects ALL the tests we have available. There are four different lists, sorted by title, author, reading level, and points. The list is under the 'Parent' drop down menu from our Oak Grove Middle School homepage. The direct link is here: PLEASE NOTE: Math Facts are essential to a child's success with mathematics. No matter what your style of learning, the goal for every student is the same. Students must end up knowing their facts, and more importantly, understanding the facts! If a child doesn't know them, the result for every student is the same --- difficulties in math! It is very important that all beginning 6th Graders have memorized all of the multiplication and division fact tables from 1-12.
Memorized multiplication facts are a necessary "mental tool" for any math student to be successful. A calculator simply does not replace this need. Picture yourself as a carpenter building a house. Can you imagine knowing how to build a house but not having a hammer? As a carpenter needs a hammer, the math student needs the tool of memorized multiplication facts.
Although division may seem difficult to students, be assured that it's not difficult if you remember that division is the opposite of multiplication. If you know a multiplication fact, then you know the corresponding division fact. Being able to recall the multiplication and division facts quickly will help you when you multiply and divide greater numbers in 6th Grade. Knowing your facts will also help when shopping, doing craft projects, participating in sports, and in many other activities.

Walters 6th Grade Math DIVISIBILITY RULES TO MEMORIZE: A number is divisible by: 2: if the ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. (EVEN Numbers). 3: if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. 4: if the last two digits of the number form a number that is divisible by 4. 5: if the ones digit is 0 or 5. 6: if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3. 8: if the last three digits of the number form a number that is divisible by 8. 9: if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. 10: if the ones digit is 0. PRIME NUMBERS FROM 0 - 100: (Memorize these numbers !) 2, 3, 5, 7,11,13,17,19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97 VOCABULARY TO KNOW: algebra - a mathematical language that uses letters along with numbers. The letters stand for numbers that are unknown. 10x - 3 = 17 is an example of an algebra equation. algebraic expression - a combination of variables, numbers, and at least one operation. area - the number of square units needed to cover a surface base - In a power, the number used as a factor. In 103, the base is 10. That is 103 = 10 x 10 x 10. center - the middle point of a circle or sphere.The center is the same distance from all points on the circle or sphere. circumference - the distance around a circle. cubed - the product in which a number is a factor three times. Two cubed is 8 because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. 23 = 2 cubed diameter - the distance across a circle through its center point. distributive property - for any numbers a, c, and c, a (b c) = ab ac and (b c)a = ba ca equation -a mathematical sentence that contains the equal sign, =. evaluate - to find the value of an expression by replacing variables with numerals. exponent - In a power, the number of times the base is used as a factor. In 53, the exponent is 3. That is 53 = 5 x 5 x 5. factor - When two or more numbers are multiplied, each number is a factor of the product. (factor x factor = product) length - the longest way an object can be measured; how long an object is. multiple - The product of a number and any whole number. order of operations - The rules to follow when more than one operation is used. (1) Do the operations enclosed in PARENTHESIS. (2) Figure all the numbers with EXPONENTS. (3) Do all MULTIPLCATIONS and DIVISIONS in order as you come to them from left to right. (4) Do all ADDITIONS�and SUBTRACTIONS in order as you come to them from left to right. perimeter - the perimeter of any closed figure is the distance around the figure power -a number that can be written using an exponent. The power 32 is read three to the second power or three squared. radius - the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle side - a line segment or surface that encloses something. A triangle has 3 sides. solution - any number that makes an equation true. The solution of x - 5 = 8 is 13. solve - to replace a variable with a number that makes an equation true. squared -a number multiplied by itself; 4 x 4 or 42 variable -a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number. width - distance across; how wide an object is.
