Elementary Mathematics Book 6 offers parent-child interactive lessons with a greater focus on independent work. Lessons take about 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of dedicated oral mental math expected. Concrete objectives are used less, as students are guided toward more abstract understanding. The authors recommend that Elementary Mathematics Book 6 and Practical Geometry Book 2 be used concurrently, with arithmetic taught four days per week and geometry one day per week. Three exams, one for the end of each term, are included. A grid notebook is strongly encouraged (5mm Grid Notebook if using Practical Geometry 2). Other recommended supplies include a personal chalk or dry-erase board and a 12” ruler with US standard and metric measurements. Number Sentence Cards 2 and 3 are highly recommended. A place value chart is optional. Book 6 begins with a review of Book 5, then covers multiplication and division of fractions, a review of decimals, rations and proportion, percents, and converting between decimals and percents, as well as percents and fractions, addition and subtraction of percents, percents less than and greater than 100%, banking using ratios, and more. Also included in Book 6 is extra written work for students who may need more practice before moving onto the next concept. A separate Answer Key with Solutions is included with Book 6.

Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description
Publisher's Description of Charlotte Mason Elementary Arithmetic Book 6
You and your student are sure to enjoy these natural, lively elementary math lessons that build confidence in mathematical thinking and help your student advance in understanding decimals, fractions, ratios, and percentages.
With Book 6, the recommended schedule is four days per week. For the fifth day, a hands-on geometry lesson should be completed from Charlotte Mason Practical Geometry, Part 2. These weekly geometry lessons give the student experience with mathematical tools such as a compass and protractor, and guide the student in understanding foundational ideas in geometry. This hands-on approach develops the student’s comfort with the mechanics of tools, drawings, and geometrical concepts before formal geometry and proofs are introduced. We suggest that 6th grade students work on arithmetic Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for practical geometry.
