Math Mammoth Grade 6 Worksheets now ready

This is what I've been working on behing the scenes so to speak... and now some of it is finally come to the fruition and is available to the public:

(now comes the sales pitch as was made up by my dear husband)

Meet Mrs. Maria Miller's Most Marvellous & Magnificent Math Mammoth Modified Modern Mathematics Meticulous Multiplication Methodology Major Madness - It's Mmm Mighty Majestic!

Ok, back to normal...
I have been making worksheets for SpiderSmart, Inc. tutoring company and the 6th grade ones are now available as two downloadable ebooks at:

Math Mammoth Grade 6 Worksheets

These aren't your run-of-the-mill worksheets, but more like carefully hand-crafted quality problem sheets, with varying problems that both emphasize understanding of concepts and computation.

The worksheets do NOT have explanations and therefore best suit math teachers or others who can explain the mathematical subject matter to the student(s).

I will later on (next year) be making more worktexts (with full explanations) using some of this material, and those will better serve the homeschool community.

Hi Maria - My 5th graders are on their second year of Mammoth Math. One question - my older son's public school had him on track for pre-algebra in 6th grade (which he taught himself out of a textbook) and algebra for 7th grade which he is now doing with Video Text. When do you anctipate a student using your program would be ready to do pre-algebra? I'd like my youngers to be doing it at least by 7th grade to keep up with the schools. What track are we on using your math? Thanks!

I am anticipating that once I get the complete curriculum for 6th grade (Light Blue series) written, then a student who has studied Math Mammoth through 6th grade should be ready for pre-algebra.

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
