Book Synopsis

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.

About the Author

More than 40 years ago, long-time educators James Hoffman, Ed.D., and his wife Joan Hoffman, M.A., began a retail supply outlet for teachers, then soon identified a need for at-home learning materials to help parents support and supplement their children's classroom instruction. School Zone fast emerged as the market leader in workbooks and flashcards for preschoolers through sixth graders. School Zone remains family-owned, focused on excellence, and committed to the community. We continually update our products with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices.
