For students on the cusp of middle school, Mathematical Reasoning Level G goes beyond drill and practice to really incorporate discussion-based problem-solving questions. Pages are still engaging with bursts of colorful graphics. Written directly to the student, there are fun facts, self-checks, and practice suggestions throughout. Critical thinking skills, decimal, fraction, and variables take the leading roles in this level. Teaching notes can be found on the bottom of certain pages to further guide instruction and provide additional resources like the Balance Benders series, Math Analogies, or Balance Math. Daily lesson time varies, as parents are encouraged to let their child’s attention span guide what is completed. The top of each worksheet identifies the concept/skill being learned, which is a helpful guide for parents. Pages are perforated and can be reproduced for family use. Answers are provided at the back of the book for grading or self-check. 440 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Mathematical Reasoning Level G (Gr. 6)
Forget boring math lessons and dreaded drill sheets. This fun, colorful 448-page book uses engaging lessons with easy-to-follow explanations, examples, and charts to make sixth grade mathematical concepts easy to understand. It can be used as a textbook or a comprehensive workbook with your textbook to teach the math skills and concepts that students are expected to know in sixth grade—and several concepts normally taught in seventh grade. This book emphasizes problem-solving and computation to build for success in higher-level math and math assessments. Every lesson is followed with a variety of fun, colorful activities to ensure concept mastery. The lessons and activities spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts, but also challenging them to continue building their problem-solving skills. This book teaches more than mathematical concepts; it teaches mathematical reasoning, so students learn to devise different strategies to solve a wide variety of math problems. It is written to the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
