Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein
Our 6th grade class recently wrapped up our unit on equations and inequalities with a word problem test. Students practiced turning real-life situations—like sharing marbles, shopping discounts, and planning costs—into algebraic expressions and equations. They focused on showing clear steps and explaining their reasoning using math properties. We also explored a fun logic puzzle about family ages and a profit problem using inequalities. It’s been great to see their confidence grow in solving multi-step problems!
