6th Grade.
(En français)
WARNING: the curriculum has been revisited but not these pages. Some informations aren't so accurate.
It should be updated soon.
Overview:
During 6th grade, students are supposed to consolidate and extend the skills they developed during primary school.
Also they will be introduced to mathematical reasoning, especially through problem solving.
It is very important that they put all their efforts in learning the proper langage and acquiring the methods that will be fundamentals for the following grades, even though they will often feel that they already know what will be displayed during the classes.
A special attention will be given to geometry and demonstrations.
