Welcome to 6th grade math! I cannot wait to see all the learning and growing that will be happening in math this year!
You are all awesome! I will see you next week!

Hi, Did you know the largest pumpkin pie ever made was over five feet in diameter and weighed over 350 pounds. It used 80 pounds of cooked pumpkin, 36 pounds of sugar, 12 dozen eggs and took six hours to bake! We are working with Edgenuity weekly in math now. It is a math program that helps students grow in areas of math that they need. This can also be done at home. The website is www.edgenuity.com. The student username and password is bh6digitid (bh and your child’s 6 digit i.d.). There is also Kahn Academy, www.khanacademy.org. Students should know their username and password assigned to them. If not, you can send me an email and I can you let you know. Since there is no daily math homework, these are good options for math practice at home! Eureka math is really showing students the kind of math that is behind real life situations! If you would like to learn more about it, you can go to their website, www.greatminds.org/math/parents and sign up as a parent. It is free and can be informative. Last week we took a Mid-Module 1 test. We are now in topic c of module 1 learning about rates and unit rates. Attached is our bar graph of Veterans who served in the armed forces! This was presented at the Veteran’s Day assembly last week! Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Mrs. Biarnesen Attachments IMG_2416 (1).JPG Hi,

Attached are photos of the Veteran’s Day assembly. Also, when we were learning lesson 14 on graphing ratios on coordinate planes we looked at maps as a real life situation that uses coordinate planes. Photos are attached showing students locating places on the map using the map index. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween! Did you know that more than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That equates to nearly 9 billion pieces – enough to circle the moon nearly 4 times if laid end-to-end! We are learning on many strategies to solve ratio problems. Last week we learned that equations can be made from ratio tables and can be used to solve ratio problems. This week, we used coordinate graphs to solve ratio problems. We started Edgenuity last week. It is a program that gives students math practice based on their current level in math. This can also be used at home. Students should know their usernames and passwords. This will be another tool used in math on a weekly basis. Below are the links to lessons 13, and 14. Next week we will work on lesson 15 which will review lessons 1-14. We will then be ready for an assessment. Lesson 13: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2721 Lesson 14: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2722 Mrs. Biarnesen Hi,
Happy Halloween! Did you know about 20 million pounds of Candy corn will be sold this Halloween! We are continuing working on solving ratio problems. Last week we used ratio tables to compare ratios and then did a Let’s Paint activity. Students had to mix blue and yellow water colors based on certain ratios and determine which mixture would be more yellow and which would be more blue. This week we are taking ratio tables and creating double number lines to help solve ratio problems. When do we want to use double number lines? Ask your child! Below are pictures from our Let’s Paint activity. Also, there are links to the videos for lessons 12, 13, and 14 listed below. Lesson 10: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2717 Lesson 11: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2718 Lesson 12: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2719 Mrs. Biarnesen Hi,
We started lesson 12 this week using double number lines for solving ratio problems. We have also used tape diagrams, and ratio tables. When do we want to use double number lines instead of ratio tables? The video link for lesson 12 is below. Last week we worked with equivalent ratios using food coloring. Pictures are attached below. Next up will be lesson 13. We will be using the value of the ratio to solve ratio problems. The video link for lesson 13 is below. Tomorrow night is the Warrior Workshop and the Eureka Math curriculum will be presented. Please come if you can. Friday is the last day of 1st quarter. Mrs. Biarnesen Lesson 12: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2719 https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2720 Lesson 13: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2721 Attachments IMG_2268.JPG IMG_2267.JPG IMG_2266.JPG IMG_2265.JPG Hi,
We continue to solve ratio problems using tape diagrams. For lesson 5 we were solving problems using equivalent ratios. This week with lesson 6, we will be using equivalent ratios as well. Do you know what equivalent ratios are? Start with a tape diagram and go from there! On Friday last week, we did a fruit loop activity where students discovered part to part and part to total ratios with their fruit loops. For more practice with tape diagrams, mathplayground.com has ratio practice under their thinking blocks link. Here is the link: http://www.mathplayground.com/tb_ratios/index.html. Also, for help with understanding what we are learning, here are video links for lesson 5 and lesson 6. Lesson 6: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2713 and lesson 5: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=2712 The problem sets for each lesson are to be completed and turned in. Students do get to work on these in class. So far, problems sets from pages, s.4, s.7, lesson 3, s.17, and s.22 should be turned in. Also the review worksheet for lessons 1-4 was due on 9/15. I do post homework on my website, the link is: https://www.weebly.com/editor/main.php or my weebly address is mrsbiarnesen.weebly.com. I hope this information helps as we work with Eureka math. Hope your weekend was nice one! Mrs. Biarnesen Hi,
