Turning Fractions into Decimals – We practiced changing fractions into decimals. Then we changed our answers into simplest form. Next, we worked on multiplication and division of real numbers. Jonathan worked on converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and multiplying or dividing the fractions.

We reviewed how to change a mixed number to an improper fraction to perform mathematical operations. Then we practiced converting fractions to decimals and percent to decimal. Next, we practiced finding a specific percent of a number. Then we practiced comparing integers.

Sixth grade mathematics curriculum – We reviewed sixth grade mathematics concepts to prepare for an end of the year cumulative test. We completed problems on ratios, rates and percentages, and variables and expressions. Then we worked on determining the surface area, area, and volume of various shapes.

Solve Area, Surface Area, and Volume Problems – We worked on finding the perimeter and area of triangles and quadrilaterals such as trapezoids. We corrected problems he missed on previous assignments where we had to find the LCM and GCF.

Solve Area, Surface Area, and Volume Problems – We worked on evaluating expressions using the order of operations. Then we worked on finding the perimeter and area of quadrilaterals such as trapezoids and triangles. We completed Jonathan’s homework and he has gotten much better at finding the GCF, unit rate, and using the distributive property.

Solve Area, Surface Area, and Volume Problems – We worked on solving problems from class assignments that Jonathan had incorrect. We practiced finding the area of triangles, circles, and trapezoids. Then we found the area of special quadrilaterals by decomposing them into triangles and other shapes. Next, we applied these techniques in the context of solving real-world problems.

We learned to classify solid figures. Then we identified the solids for several nets. We answered questions pertaining to edges, vertices, and faces for various shapes. We drew the nets for a rectangular prism and a square pyramid.

We printed out Jonathan’s last two assignments in his math class. Then we went over how to write numbers on a coordinate grid. I told him to remember that the x-value in an ordered pair comes first when plotting a point just like it comes first in the alphabet. I gave Jonathan a hidden picture to plot and he did very well. We will work on changing mixed numbers into improper fractions and multiplying them since that’s what he missed on his last assignment in finding the area of triangles and trapezoids.

Jonathan worked on solving simple linear equations requiring division. We reviewed the procedure to apply the inverse operation on both sides of an equation to solve algebraic problems. Then we worked on finding equivalent fractions.

Jonathan logged onto his school website and we went over his approach to solving the problems on the last 2 assignments. He is beginning to understand the relationship between proportional reasoning and percent. We practiced writing percents that are greater than 100 and percents that are less than one. Then we learned to write these values as fractions and decimals.
