This student worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems \u0026amp; exercises (the 'text' \u0026amp; and the 'work'; thus a \"worktext\"), and is fairly self-teaching. This is the 2023 edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main areas of study in the grade 5-A worktext are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe four operations with whole numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eplace value with large numbers and the judicious use of calculator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eproblem solving \u0026amp; simple equations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edecimal arithmetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egraphing and the coordinate grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe year starts out with a study of whole numbers and their operations. Students get to review \u003cstrong\u003emulti-digit multiplication and learn long division with two-digit divisors\u003c\/strong\u003e. We also review \u003cstrong\u003edivisibility and factors\u003c\/strong\u003e from fourth grade, and study \u003cstrong\u003eprime factorization\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second chapter, the focus is on \u003cstrong\u003elarge numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eusing a calculator\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is the first time a calculator is introduced in Math Mammoth complete curriculum-thus far, all calculations have been done mentally, or with paper and pencil. I want students to learn to be critical in their use of the calculator and use it with good judgment. Every exercise where calculator use is to be allowed is marked with a little calculator symbol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third chapter is about \u003cstrong\u003eequations and problem solving\u003c\/strong\u003e. We study simple equations with the help of a balance and \u003cstrong\u003ebar models\u003c\/strong\u003e. The main idea is to get students used to the idea of an equation and what it means to solve an equation. Students also do a fair amount of problem solving using the visual bar model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fourth chapter is about \u003cstrong\u003edecimals and some of the operations with decimals\u003c\/strong\u003e (the rest will be studied in chapter 6). Fifth grade is the time when students learn all the basic operations with decimals. In this chapter, we focus on place value with decimals, addition and subtraction of decimals, and multiplication and division of decimals by whole numbers. Multiplying decimals by decimals and dividing decimals by decimals is covered in chapter 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn chapter 5, we study \u003cstrong\u003egraphing in the coordinate grid, line graphs, and average.\u003c\/strong\u003e Today's world has become increasingly complex with lots of data presented in the media, so our children need a good grasp of statistical graphs to be able to make sense of all of that information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMath Mammoth focuses on \u003cstrong\u003econceptual understanding\u003c\/strong\u003e. It explains the \"WHY\", so your children can understand the math, not just learn \"HOW\" to do it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe curriculum is \u003cstrong\u003emastery-oriented\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery little teacher preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e is required. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe curriculum meets and exceeds the Common Core standards.
