Math Mammoth Grade 5-B Worktext
Math Mammoth Grade 5-B Worktext covers the second half of fifth grade mathematics studies. In part 5-A, students have studied the four operations with whole numbers, large numbers, problem solving, decimal arithmetic, and statistical graphs. In this part, 5-B, we study more about decimals, a lot about fractions and fraction arithmetic, and geometry. Chapter 6 continues our study of decimals. The focus is on multiplying decimals by decimals,
dividing decimals by decimals, and conversions between measuring units. Chapter 7 covers the addition and subtraction of fractions--another topic of focus for 5th grade,
besides decimals. The most difficult topic of this chapter is adding and subtracting unlike fractions, which is done by first converting them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. In chapter 8, we study the multiplication and division of fractions from various angles. Chapter 9 takes us to geometry, starting with a review of angles and polygons. From there, students will learn to draw circles, to classify triangles and quadrilaterals, and the concept of volume in the context of right rectangular prisms (boxes). Features Please this is the full color version, 2020 edition. It does not include answers (the answer keys are available separately).

About the author
Maria Miller
281 books7 followersMaria Miller is a math teacher, author, and a homeschooling mom. She grew up in Finland and earned her master's degree in mathematics there in 1997.
Miller started writing math books in 2002, prompted by her experiences in tutoring homeschooled children. She felt the books they were using were inferior, especially when it came to conceptual understanding of mathematics. She began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice.
Eventually these materials turned into a complete math curriculum under the name Math Mammoth. Her books and videos have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. Math Mammoth materials and videos focus on number sense, mental math, conceptual understanding, algebraic reasoning, and word problems more than most other math materials out there.
