School Zone Math Basics Grade 6 Workbook - (Paperback)

Help your middle-schooler prepare for higher math. For this transitional stage in learning, Math Basics 6 builds a bridge, with features designed to summarize or define key concepts, to provide useful strategies and shortcuts, and to suggest ways to identify and avoid potential pitfalls. This 64-page workbook reviews earlier math skills, as it also helps advance into areas such as geometry and operational order. Lessons provide practice with a purpose, including word problems that address real-life applications of the concepts. Many activities offer hints and reminders, challenging problems, and interesting facts linked to the skills in the lessons. We used Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, published by the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), as a guide in writing this book.
