How often does your 5th or 6th grader do math?

Every day here too. There is almost always daily homework also.

DD is 5th grade , middle school, daily math class. homework mon- thurs, usually a few word problems reinforcing whatever they did in class that day.

Everyday K-5, which is elementary here. In 6-8, it's 4 days a week, because we have block schedules, so only half the classes on Thurs/Fri.

My 6th grader (middle school) also has a block schedule. Math is 4x/week. During her elementary school years, she had math every day.

My son is in 6th grade and he has math every day for 1.5 hours. It is his first class of the day.

DD1 is in 5th. They are on a 6 day rotation, so she wasn't too clear, but she said this week it felt like they did math every day. They sometimes do math and science on the same day, or just science, or just math.

Middle school here is 5th and 6th.

Every day.

But my mom just retired from teaching elementary school and she says that her colleagues don't always do math every day. They really should, but they prioritize other things I guess.

Elementary (k-5) is every day for about an hour. 6th-8th is block scheduling, so every other day for 90 min plus a 90 min. block every other day where they can meet with the teacher for extra help if needed.

Every day, elementary and middle school, have never heard of math not being taught on a daily basis, ever!

The only time I've heard of math not being taught on a daily basis is the block scheduling mentioned above (So math taught every other day). I'd be very concerned about math only being taught once a week!

My 5th grader has math classroom instruction everyday. She gets all her math HW on Monday and has to turn it in on Friday and can choose how and when to complete it. Her HW math problems (about 8 a week) are not really correlated to what they are doing in class but more logic type questions.

When DS was a 6th grader last year (1st yr of MS here), he had math class everyday, as well.
