Math 6 Teacher Edition, 4th ed.

The 6th grade math teacher’s edition is a two-volume set that equips educators with 6th grade math lesson plans, teaching strategies, and a variety of other resources for providing a successful learning environment for students. Lessons are organized clearly and logically to support the educator in teaching students math concepts and to guide them in developing a biblical worldview of math.

What do the lesson plans include?

Lessons in the teacher’s edition follow a teaching cycle that offers educators a path for guiding students toward success with sixth grade math. The teaching cycle follows four steps:

• Engage: Illustrations, pictures, and discussion questions encourage students to become involved in the learning and gain an interest in math.
• Instruct: Teaching strategies include modeling, math tools, and collaborative learning activities.
• Apply: Students will be encouraged to use math to help and serve others; STEM activities direct students to create solutions to real-world problems; Math Talk sections promote deeper discussion of concepts and encourage critical thinking.
• Assess: Teachers may complete formative assessments through chapter reviews, spiral cumulative reviews, and classroom discussions; chapter tests and STEM activities provide opportunities for summative assessments.
