The 6 grade textbooks are the first in the series. In 6A, a core goal is to develop basic numeracy — as students study the algebraic operations and their properties, they encounter the natural numbers and decimals. They begin work with variables, setting up a solid base for the work that is to come in later books.
Overview
In geometry, students begin by carefully defining geometric objects and build to discussions on area and perimeter of plane figures, plus volumes of simple solids. Students get a taste of number theory in their work with prime factorization and divisibility rules.
This introduction to the series invites students to become confident mathematics enthusiasts by introducing basic facts, explaining the not-so-basic operations that we use in our number system, and modeling excellent solutions.
Our Mathematics Textbooks and Workbook series focuses on building a truly solid foundation of mathematical knowledge and skill, with deep explorations into algebra, geometry, and general logic and problem solving. In addition to the core content, these textbooks place a strong emphasis on communicating mathematics clearly, doing computations efficiently, and using common sense to check if answers and results make sense.
