The 6th grade math will be fun but you will have to use imagination, perseverance, and thinking skills to be successful. Math Course 2 is a fabulous textbook and you will find that taking notes is helpful.
You will need to have a ruler, a compass, a protractor, loose-leaf notebook paper, and graph paper in order to succeed in this class. It goes without saying that you will also need a pencil and an eraser. Do not depend on your classmates to provide these materials for you, BRING YOUR OWN.
