Math Mammoth Grade 5-B Worktext

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. This is the 2023 edition.

The main areas of study in Math Mammoth Grade 5-B worktext are:

  • decimal arithmetic
  • fraction arithmetic (all operations with fractions)
  • geometry: review of angles, area, and perimeter; drawing circles; classifying triangles & quadrilaterals; volume of rectangular prisms

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 classify triangles and quadrilaterals, and will study the concept of volume in the context of right rectangular prisms (boxes).

Features

  • Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.
  • The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. 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.
  • The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. 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. Please note that it does not include the answers; they are sold as a separate book.

About the Author

Maria Miller was born and grew up in Finland where she also received a master's degree in mathematics in 1997. She loves math and teaching, so becoming a math teacher was a natural career for her. 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, so she began to write books that focus on the concepts and the "why" of mathematics, though not forgetting the "how" and the needful practice. Over the years, her materials have become popular and appreciated, both among parents and teachers. In her free time, she likes walking, bicycling, swimming, reading, helping out with Inspire4.com, playing piano, and listening to music.
