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: This book starts out with a 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 . 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 , just using more decimal digits than in 5th grade. Students also practice conversions of measurement units. (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 , to see percentages as decimals, and to learn to calculate discounts. The curriculum meets and exceeds the Common Core standards. This is the full-color version; in other words, the inside pages are in full color. Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain answers.
