Geometry and Algebra Problem Solving

Mrs. Lehmann conducts a review session for grade 6 math, covering problems from the New York State math task. She explains a treadmill problem involving distance and time, calculates calories in ice cream using proportions, solves a basketball bouncing problem, and calculates the area of triangles. The session concludes with a challenge for viewers.

What is the main focus of the review session introduced by Mrs. Lehmann?

• Discussing literature

• Learning about history

• Reviewing for the New York State math task for grade 6

• Preparing for a science test
