Math Mammoth Grade 4-B Worktext, Canadian Version - Taina Miller

. .

Résumé :
Math Mammoth Grade 4-B worktext (Canadian version) is the student worktext for the latter half of the 4th grade math and part of Math Mammoth complete curriculum for fourth grade. Please note: The book doesn't include the answer key. Answer keys for grade 4 are sold in a separate book. The book starts out with the topic of division. The focus is on learning long division and using division in word problems. In the geometry chapter students first revise area and perimeter and then concentrate on the topic of angles. Students measure and draw angles solve simple angle problems and classify triangles according to their angles. They also study parallel and perpendicular lines. Fractions and decimals are presented last in the school year. These two chapters practise only some of the basic operations with fractions and decimals. The focus is still on conceptual understanding and on building a good foundation towards 5th grade math where fractions and decimals will be in focus. 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. There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense. It requires very little teacher preparation which is a big help to most parents. :) 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....

Biographie:
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....
