Math Mammoth Grade 5-B Worktext is the second student book in Math Mammoth Grade 5 curriculum, meant for the latter half of 5th grade.
Please note that it does not include the answers; they are sold as a separate book..
All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext, and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.
This is the full-color version of the worktext.
The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter.
The curriculum has no separate teacher\'s manual nor is it scripted.
This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.
Very little teacher preparation is required.
This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects.
It explains the WHY, so your children can understand the math, not just learn HOW to do it.
The curriculum is mastery-oriented.
FeaturesMath Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding.
From there, students will learn to classify triangles and quadrilaterals, and will study the concept of volume in the context of right rectangular prisms (boxes).
Chapter 9 takes us to geometry, starting with a review of angles and polygons.
In chapter 8, we study the multiplication and division of fractions from various angles.
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.
Chapter 7 covers the addition and subtraction of fractions - another topic of focus for 5th grade, besides decimals.
The focus is on multiplying decimals by decimals, dividing decimals by decimals, and conversions between measuring units.
