Google Mathcamp Site I have posted videos, vocabulary, and state standards for each math unit.
Hello Students,
I have enjoyed having you all this year. Even if you weren't able to make it to the Zoom meetings, many of you completed the retake tasks on Study Island. I could tell that a lot of you took those retakes to keep your skill up because you didn’t need a grade change. I hope that these study sessions will make it easier for you to remember what you have learned and are able to apply it next year and for the rest of your life, because, 6th grade math is the most useful for everyday life!
Take care,
Mrs. Nelson

ZOOM Meeting Topics
Our Zoom topic is based on the retake test that is opening that week.
Test Retake Dates
Remember, you don't need to e-mail me to take a retake. They are open to everyone on Study Island.
I even have "Unit 6 Equations and Inequalities" available on June 2nd! That is the test you were scheduled to take on the day you left school. When I found out that we would not be returning to school for awhile I decided to postpone that test. Now you will be able to take it and see how well you know that content.

Unit 2 Fractions, Decimals, Percents start date 5/5 end date 5/12

6th Grade Schedule 5/18
Edit: This week's Zoom theme is goofy/cute tee shirts.
Retakes: The retake grade for SOL 6.3, an introduction to what integers are, will be assessed on the Unit 4 retake involving integer operations. To cut down on the amount of tests the students are taking, I will be counting one grade as two if it covers both standards.
6th Grade Schedule 5/11
Zoom Theme: Superheroes! Create a Zoom background of your favorite superhero or wear a superhero shirt.
6th Grade Schedule 5/4
Our theme for our next Zoom meeting (5/5) is Pet Day!
Create a pet Zoom background or bring your pet, plant, or pet rock.
For security reasons, the Zoom password changes each week. Please see your Edmodo for the new password.
Study Island Test Retakes: Test Retakes are on Study Island not Power Test
If you haven't taken the Unit 1 retake, you need to do that today. It closes tomorrow and the Unit 2 retake will be available.
You have one week to work on each test retake. Take it as many times as you would like and I will take your best grade.
Grades go in the following Wednesday, after the closing date of each test.

4/23 All the grades are updated. I'm waiting a few retakes to come in. Other than that, if you have completed any assignments and they are not updated in the grade book. Please email me today.
The behavior and effort grades are based on what you had before we left the school building. However, if you had an unacceptable effort grade and you have completed those incomplete assignments, I will give you a higher effort grade. Like your other grades, these grades can only go up, not down.
Monday, April 20th Optional Assignments and Zoom Meetings
This quarter's grading period ends on Friday, April 24th. If you have gone back and updated anything in IXL or Study Island please email me, so I can make those changes.
For Tuesday:
Begin working on the walls of the food truck. Cut them out before you decide where things go to make sure that what you are placing on the walls matches up to your floor plan. I will show my example during the Zoom meeting.
When working on your walls the perspective will be as if you are looking directly at the wall. So, you should see the front of the stove on the wall plan and the top of the stove on the floor plan.

Monday, April 13th Optional Assignments and Zoom Meetings
Teachers have been instructed to review previously taught information during the remaining weeks.
Optional FOOD TRUCK PROJECT
Choose “Folders” from the Edmodo tabs; where I keep your binder notes. I have added a food truck project that you may start working on. Print out pages 1-4. They are marked with the word “Print” in the titles. The example is a taco truck but you may create any type of food truck that you like. The rest of the pages do not need to be printed out. They are visual examples of the project to give you a better idea of what you could do.
ZOOM
Optional Zoom Math Meetings are held every Tuesday
1st Period 10:00 - 10:30
3rd Period 10:30 - 11:00
5th Period 11:00 - 11:30
OFFICE HOURS
I now have Zoom office hours every Tuesday from 11:30 - 1:00 to discuss your grades or give you extra math help. Please e-mail me in advance so I'm not in another room when you are trying to reach me. nelsonka@pwcs.edu
Use the same meeting ID and password that you used to get into my Zoom math class.
What if the teacher is late?
This morning, my internet dropped me for a couple of minutes. I realized that we need to have a plan in place if I don't show up for a Zoom math meeting. I allow you enter the Zoom meetings up to 10 minutes late. Let's have the same rule for me. If I'm 10 minutes late, I'm unable to get online. You won't need to wait for me longer than that.
