6th Gr. Math Homework
In general, we do one lesson each day with homework given daily Monday through Thursday.  Students usually do not have math homework on weekends, but are encouraged to go on IXL or Moby Max for additional practice.
When lessons are review of previous concepts, we will do two lessons.  Then the homework is just the even numbered problems.
