McBride's Classroom. Hello and welcome to Mrs. McBride's 6th grade website. This is the place to keep up to date with the classroom's events, homework assignments, helpful resources for your child and what your child will be learning this year. Help is always appreciated. If you would like to volunteer, just ask. Consumer Math Kristi Freeman, Instructor Consumer math is a branch of math that uses basic math skills in real life situations like shopping, calculating taxes, estimating monthly budget, calculating interest rate for a loan, etc. Teaching kids about spending, saving and other aspects of 'money math' will prepare them to make better financial. Use your child's personal username and pin number to access the entire math book online. Great for if your child misses a day of class, if you're taking a family vacation or if you'd like to see how we are teaching each subject in class.

This 6th GRADE MOUNTAIN MATH CENTER EDITION is the DAILY REVIEW your students need to MASTER the concepts you have taught.
Research has proven that LONG-TERM MASTERY comes from SPIRAL REVIEW, also called DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE AND SPACED REPETITION.
The CENTER EDITION is designed for small group review, such as rotations, scoots, centers, or math-around-the-room. It is a smaller version (13'x19') of our Bulletin Board Kit. It can easily be set up and taken down as needed.

CENTER EDITION VS.
BULLETIN BOARD KIT
Is projected onto an interactive white board, creating a virtual board. It can be viewed by the entire classroom. Answers can be displayed onto the board at the click of a button. Up to seven questions can be isolated and magnified.
CENTER EDITION
Is organized on a 13'x19' flip chart. It can be viewed by 5-6 students at a time. It was designed for small group review, such as rotations, scoots, centers, or math-around-the-classroom. It has an answer key, heavy-duty stand, and high-gauged coil.
BULLETIN BOARD KIT
It is designed for total classroom view. It hangs on bulletin boards, walls, white boards, pocket charts, and science display boards. Once hung, it can remain displayed for the entire year. The cards can be interchanged, creating flexible and adjustable DAILY REVIEW.
This will display covered concepts, images, and more.
Critical Thinking - Math is More than Computation A firm grasp of mathematical concepts is fundamental to success in math. Students must have a thorough understanding of the mathematical processes and know how to use the processes to produce accurate solutions. While memorization is an essential component in math, students need to pair comprehension with the math concepts that they have memorized in order to succeed in higher-level mathematics. A major goal of the Secondary Math program (grades 7-12) is to help students become critical thinkers and life-long problem solvers. Education is more that just getting good grades. It is learning to think for oneself. Students are encouraged not only to perform calculations but also to be able to explain and justify answers by applying critical-thinking skills. Our academically rigorous materials prepare students to excel in standardized assessments as well as college-level mathematics. —BJU Press

Consumer Math
Kristi Freeman, Instructor
Consumer math is a branch of math that uses basic math skills in real life situations like shopping, calculating taxes, estimating monthly budget, calculating interest rate for a loan, etc. Teaching kids about spending, saving and other aspects of 'money math' will prepare them to make better financial decisions. These principles will give your child sound, Biblical views for managing his or her own money. This course can fulfill an elective credit or a fourth level math credit.
