Grade 6 Math 135 Objectives

We are nearing the halfway point of the school year and you should be aware of your child's math.   Your child should be at or around objective 70 by the end of January and 84 by the end of February.  In total we have 135 math objectives to complete.  We are trying to pace you so that you will be able to finish all the objectives by the end of the year,  and hopefully all students can move onto the Finance unit after the 135 math objectives.  Some students are in need of extra assistance and Mrs. Janzen is offering a Math club on Monday, Wednesday and optional for Friday at lunch.  Please contact me if you have any questions. 

Periodically, we may have math quizzes along the way.
