For those of you who are new to Holy Spirit and the 6th grade families. I wanted to give a brief description of how math class goes each day.
Students work on an Investigation daily (note taking, problem solving etc). An Investigation consists of question and problems focused on a State Standard.
The Investigation is broken up into 4 part. The Goal describes the standard being covered. Next is the Launch, during the launch students take notes (provided by me) that will help them solve the problem of the day. Explore comes next. Students work in groups to answers the questions provided in the book. Next we Summarize, students take additional notes that either wrap up the concept, review past concepts or elaborate for higher thinking.
At the end of each Investigation ACE questions as assigned from the book. These are normally due the next class period. Some investigations can take two days, when this happens, ACE will be assigned once the Summary is completed.
Let me know if you have any questions!
7th and 8th grade have homework tonight. Please check class pages!
