Welcome to Sixth Grade!

My name is Karin Snodgrass. I teach sixth grade math, and am the sixth grade team leader. This is my twenty-first year at Lakeview. During that time I have taught sixth grade math, seventh grade math, and eighth grade math, as well as sixth grade science.
If your child is in periods 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, we will be covering decimals, fractions, geometry, integers, solving basic equations, and ratio, proportion, percent. We will be using the McDougal Littell textbook series this year. This series has an excellent website at classzone.com. This website includes access to an electronic version of the student textbook. In order to access this electronic version, you will need the following activation code: 2432737-180.
If your child is in period 1, we will be covering data and graphing, integers, solving basic equations, decimals, fractions, ratios & proportions, percents, geometry, area & perimeter, surface area, volume, solving multi-step equations and inequalities. We will be using the Holt series, which unfortunately does not have an online version.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please feel free to contact me, ksnodgrass@ccsd66.org or (630)783-5030.
I hope to see you on Monday, September 13, 2010 for our parent open house. I look forward to working with you and your child.
