Math Mammoth Grade 6-B Worktext is the second student book in Math Mammoth grade 6 curriculum, meant for the latter half of 6th grade. This is the 2022 edition.The main areas of study in Math Mammoth Grade 6-B worktext are:prime factorization, GCF, and LCMfraction arithmetic with a focus on division of fractionsthe concept of integers, coordinate grid, addition & subtraction of integersgeometry: review of quadrilaterals & drawing problems; area of triangles & polygons; volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths; surface areastatistics: concept of distribution, measures of center, measures of variation, boxplots, stem-and-leaf plots, histogramsChapter 6 first reviews prime factorization and then teaches students two new concepts: the greatest common factor and the least common multiple. We also apply those concepts factor to simplify fractions and to find common denominators for adding fractions.In Chapter 7, students first review addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions from fifth grade. Then we focus on a new topic: the division of fractions. The chapter also includes ample practice in solving problems with fractions.Chapter 8 introduces students to integers (signed numbers). They plot points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, reflect and translate simple figures, and learn to add and subtract with negative numbers. (Multiplication and division of integers will be studied in 7th grade.)The next chapter, Geometry, focuses on calculating the area of polygons. After a brief review of terminology for triangles and quadrilaterals and drawing fundamentals, this new topic is presented simply in a logical progression: first, the area of a right triangle; next, the area of a parallelogram; then, the area of any triangle; and finally, the area of a polygon. After that, students learn how to use nets of simple solids to calculate their surface area. Lastly, we turn to the concept of volume. Students have already learned to find the volumes of rectangular prisms in 5th grade. Now they calculate the volumes of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths.The final chapter is about statistics. Beginning with the concept of a statistical distribution, students learn about measures of center and measures of variability. They also learn how to make dot plots, histograms, boxplots, and stem-and-leaf plots as ways to summarize and analyze distributions.FeaturesMath Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.Very little teacher preparation is required.The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext, and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.This is the full-color version of the worktext. Please note that it does not include the answers; they are sold as a separate book.

Math Mammoth Grade 6-A Worktext is the student book for the first half of grade 6 mathematics. This student worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises (the 'text' & and the 'work'; thus a "worktext"), and is fairly self-teaching. This is the 2022 edition.The main areas of study in Math Mammoth Grade 6-A are:review of the basic operations with whole numbersbeginning algebra topics: expressions, equations, and inequalitiesreview of all decimal arithmeticintroduction to ratios and percentprime factorization, GCF, and LCMa review of fraction arithmetic from 5th grade, plus a focus on division of fractionsthe concept of integers, coordinate grid, addition & subtraction of integersgeometry: review of quadrilaterals & drawing problems; area of triangles & polygons; volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths; surface areastatistics: concept of distribution, measures of center, measures of variation, boxplots, stem-and-leaf plots, histogramsThis book starts out with a review of the four operations with whole numbers (including long division), place value, and rounding. Students are also introduced to exponents and do some problem solving.Chapter 2 starts the study of algebra topics, delving first into expressions and equations. Students practice writing expressions in many different ways, and use properties of operations and the idea of maintaining the equality of both sides of an equation to solve simple one-step equations. We also study briefly inequalities and using two variables.In chapter 3 we review all of decimal arithmetic, just using more decimal digits than in 5th grade. Students also practice conversions of measurement units.Ratios (chapter 4) is a new topic for sixth grade. Students are already familiar with finding fractional parts of quantities from earlier grades, and now it is time to advance that knowledge into the study of ratios, which arise naturally from dividing a quantity into many equal parts. We study such topics as rates, unit rates, equivalent ratios, and problem solving using bar models.In chapter 5, the goal is to develop a basic understanding of percent, to see percentages as decimals, and to learn to calculate discounts.FeaturesMath Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding.

Math Mammoth Grade 2-A worktext is the student book for the second half of grade 2 mathematics. It covers some revision of 1st grade math, reading the clock, addition and subtraction facts within 18, adding two-digit numbers, geometry topics, and fractions.This student worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises (the 'text' & and the 'work'; thus a "worktext"), and is fairly self-teaching.

Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain answers.Features of the curriculum:Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.Concepts are often explained with visual models, followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however, it is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense.It requires little teacher preparation, which is a big benefit to most teachers/parents. :)The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted.
