Virginia Mathematics 6 (Apex)

Virginia Mathematics 6 is a two-semester course that delivers instruction, practice, and review designed to develop computational fluency, deepen conceptual understanding, and apply mathematical practices. Course topics include estimation, fraction operations, and integers, as well as ratios and rates. Students continue to build their algebra skills by plotting points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, solving equations, and writing inequalities. Geometry topics include congruence, area, perimeter, surface area, and volume. Statistical work features measures of center and variability, circle graphs, and line plots. Students apply their statistical skills as they collect, organize, and display their own data using technology.  

The two-semester course is arranged in themed units, each with three to five lessons. Each lesson consists of a variety of activities, including direct instruction, application of skills, performance tasks, and formative and summative assessments. Students engage with the subject matter in an interactive, feedback-rich environment as they progress through standards-aligned content and demonstrate their learning through computer- and teacher-scored assignments. By constantly honing the ability to apply their knowledge in abstract and real-world scenarios, students build the depth of knowledge and higher-order thinking skills required to demonstrate their mastery when put to the test.  

This course is built to state standards.
