6th Grade Math Overview:
The math program that we implement at Warren Woods Middle School is called the Connected Mathematics Project 3 (CMP3). This program is designed to engage your child in higher level thinking, which facilitates active participation through discovery, questioning, hands-on activities, and cooperative learning. It is important to understand that this method of teaching and learning is problem-centered and designed to embed mathematical concepts in engaging problems. The students will discover concepts, which will help promote higher level thinking and aim at developing a deeper understanding of mathematics.
