Then we focus on a new topic: \u003cstrong\u003ethe division of fractions\u003c\/strong\u003e. The chapter also includes ample practice in solving problems with fractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 introduces students to \u003cstrong\u003eintegers\u003c\/strong\u003e (signed numbers). They plot points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, reflect and translate simple figures, and learn to add and subtract with negative numbers. (Multiplication and division of integers will be studied in 7th grade.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next chapter, Geometry, focuses on calculating \u003cstrong\u003ethe area of polygons\u003c\/strong\u003e. After a brief review of terminology for triangles and quadrilaterals and drawing fundamentals, this new topic is presented simply in a logical progression: first, the area of a right triangle; next, the area of a parallelogram; then, the area of any triangle; and finally, the area of a polygon. After that, students learn how to use nets of simple solids to calculate their surface area. Lastly, we turn to the concept of \u003cstrong\u003evolume\u003c\/strong\u003e. Students have already learned to find the volumes of rectangular prisms in 5th grade. Now they calculate the volumes of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final chapter is about statistics. Beginning with the concept of a\u003cstrong\u003e statistical distribution\u003c\/strong\u003e, students learn about measures of center and measures of variability. They also learn how to make dot plots, histograms, boxplots, and stem-and-leaf plots as ways to summarize and analyze distributions.\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.
