Math Mammoth Grade 6-A worktext (International version, 2022 edition) is the student worktext for the first half of grade 6, and part of the Math Mammoth Grade 6 complete curriculum. This book covers a revision of the four operations with whole numbers, beginning algebra concepts, decimal arithmetic, ratios, and percent.
The worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems and exercises (the 'text' and the 'work'; thus a "worktext"), and is for the most part self-teaching.
The first chapter revises the four operations with whole numbers (including long division), place value and rounding. Students are also introduced to exponents. Chapter 2 delves into algebra topics, such as expressions and equations, inequalities and using two variables. Chapter 3 has to do with decimals, revising all of decimal arithmetic.
Chapter 4 is about ratios, rates, unit rates, equivalent ratios and problem solving using bar models. In chapter 5, the goal is to develop a basic understanding of percent, to see percentages as decimals and to learn to calculate discounts.
A companion to this book, Math Mammoth Grade 6-B worktext covers the second half of 6th grade math (available separately). Also available are the answer keys (sold in a separate book) and a book containing cumulative revisions and chapter tests.
Industry Reviews
I'm usually a quiet user of curriculum which means I rarely let publishers know my likes and dislikes. Also, I'm a curriculum junky! Between my three children I have used so many different math curriculums that I've lost track. I'm saying all of this to tell you .... I LOVE MAMMOTH MATH! As a prior elementary teacher and now a homeschool mom for 7 years, even I am learning new ways to look at math and problem solving. I am so thankful I accidentally found Mammoth Math. Thank you!

We just wanted to say Thank You for this program. We have been using it for about half a year. It's exactly what we needed. -The ideas build up easily.
-Lessons are self-explanatory.
-There not a lot of extra instruction.
-It's simply laid out.
I can use it will both of my girls. It keeps me going in order and does not take soo much of my time. Then, If I feel that I need to expound in a area to help one kid out, I have the freedom to do so. At the same time, if they get it, I am not held back with busy work. I really like the simplicity and freedom of it all. I like to be free but I also like structure. It's just what we were looking for.
Thank you,
The Gomez Family
