The Mathematics program at Lakeside Middle School is challenging and rigorous at each level that is offered. Teachers follow the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Mathematics as well as county guidelines. In 6th grade there are three different levels of math. For students to be considered for accelerated 6th grade math, they had to qualify at the end of 5th grade.
Advanced 6th Grade Math: In this course, students master all of the 6th grade standards and some specifically chosen 7th grade standards. In addition to the standards required for this course, students in these classes will master the 7th grade Rational Numbers and Proportions standards.
Accelerated 6th Grade Math: In this course, students master all of the 6th standards and the first semester of the 7th Grade standards.

My name is Rene Blackstone and I am so excited to be a part of the Lakeside Middle School team! I have been teaching for almost 19 years and throughout those years I have had the opportunity to teach 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I have had some experience in just about every core subject area, but my true love is definitely for MATH and SCIENCE. I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Education degree and Master of Education degree from Georgia State University with certifications in all middle grade subjects, general science, ESOL and Gifted. I'm looking forward to another great year!

Originally from Maryland, she moved to Georgia 11 years ago after teaching overseas in Cairo, Egypt for 3 years. Georgia has become home to her, her husband, and two daughters. She initially went to school for graphic design but stumbled into teaching as a part time teacher's aide. It was there that she found the joy in working with students, and she went back to school for education. This will be her 18th year in education, and she is excited to be joining the community here at Lakeside Middle.
