Some main features of Math Mammoth complete curriculum (Light Blue series) are:
The downloadable version includes a worksheet maker (Internet access required) that lets you make extra practice worksheets for many of the topics in the curriculum.
The PDFs in the download version are enabled for annotation. This means that if you prefer, your student can fill them in on the computer, using the typewriter and drawing tools in Acrobat Reader version 9 or greater.
BONUS! If you purchase the download version in Kagi store, you will also get Soft-Pak programs completely FREE. The 7 programs in Soft-Pak (4 math, 1 language arts, 2 testing) offer both on-screen and printable activities in a low-graphic, high content format. Read more and see screenshots.
Math Mammoth Grade 6-A and Grade 6-B worktexts comprise a complete math curriculum for the sixth grade mathematics studies. It contains eight main chapters. Each chapter has an introduction, which contains notes to the teacher; the actual lessons then follow with problems. Each chapter ends in a review lesson. The chapter tests are found in a separate folder and are printed separately. This product also includes an HTML page that you can use to make extra practice worksheets for computation.
Sixth grade is a time to deepen the student's understanding of fractions and decimals, and to study ratios, proportions, and percent as new topics. Also studied are integers, geometry, statistical graphs, and probability.
The Math Mammoth Grade 6 Complete Curriculum starts out with a review of the four operations with whole numbers and place value. Students are also introduced to exponents. While most of the first chapter is review, we also emphasize the ability to deal with expressions such as 600 ÷ 4 + 103.
Next is ratios and proportions, which are a major part of study in sixth grade. Students are already somewhat familiar with ratios and finding fractional parts from earlier grades, and now it is time to advance that knowledge into the study of proportions, which arise naturally from the study of fractions and equivalent ratios. We show several ways of solving proportions. As applications, students study scaling geometric figures, floor plans, and scaling in maps.
The next several chapters deal with fractions and decimals. They have already been studied extensively in fifth grade. Now in sixth grade we review those topics, using more decimal digits (decimals) and larger denominators (fractions). Students also study factoring, the least common multiple, and the greatest common factor, and can use those concepts when dealing with fraction simplification or addition.
In part 6-B, percent is an important topic to understand thoroughly so we devote a whole chapter to it. It ties in with decimals, fractions, ratios, and proportions, and of course has lots of practical applications.
In geometry, students encounter angle problems and calculations. We also study congruent transformations, including in coordinate plane, and similar figures, tying in the concepts of ratio and proportion. Area and volume calculations of common shapes are reviewed from fifth grade. Pi and the area of a circle are studied as new topics. Lastly, this chapter covers volume and surface area of common solids.
Then, the study of integers is preparing students for pre-algebra and algebra. Here we study all four operations with integers, and also graphing simple functions.
Then, we turn our attention to statistics and probability. Students will analyze and create a variety of statistical graphs, and study mean, median, and mode. Probability is a topic that until recently was not a part of grade-school curriculum. Thus, we start slowly, introducing the probability topics in a simple manner. Students will encounter these topics again in pre-algebra and algebra.
