Book excerpt: This workbook provides practice in sixth-grade mathematics skills. Emphasis is placed on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractional numbers and decimal fractions. Practice is also provided in percent, in the four arithmetic operations with whole numbers, and in solving word problems. The material correlates with the curriculum in most basic mathematics texts. The pages are presented in a suggested order, but may be used in any order which best meets a child's needs. Parents who wish their children to have practice in mathematics skills will find the book as helpful as classroom teachers will find it. The exercises are presented so that a child can work with a minimum of supervision. Answers are included in a four-page leaflet in the middle of the book. This leaflet can be easily removed. A glossary is available for reference on the inside back cover.
