How can I know how my child is doing in math each six weeks?

Each student should have a math folder.  This folder contains all 
the notes, assignments, worksheets, quizes, and tests for the six weeks.  
The folder also contains a Record of Achievement where the student records 
all the grades taken during that grading period.  These papers are kept 
in the folder until the end of the sixth weeks grading period.  At the 
end of the grading period each student organizes and returns the papers in 
the folder for a grade.  These I keep until the end of the year and then 
they are returned to the student to use for TCAP review.

Do you drop the lowest grade each six weeks?

No.  I give between 15 and 20 different grades during each 
grading period.  If a student has one or two low grades, usually the average is 
not affected a great deal.  Bonus points are often given as a part of an 
assignment, quiz, or test.
