Note that the Floris Books editions of Jamie York's books have been
completely revised for UK and European notation, language and
metric systems. They are also suitable for use in South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand. Experienced maths teacher and consultant
Jamie York believes that a love of learning comes through the
teacher, so his books are committed to supporting teachers in
developing their classroom skills and to fostering a love of maths
in their students. Unlike conventional maths textbooks, his books
are not full of fancy graphics and contrived ways to make maths
fun. Rather, they: -- focus on the essentials, so teachers aren't
overwhelmed by endless lists of required materials -- are genuinely
interesting and challenging, sparking students' enthusiasm for
learning maths -- are developmentally appropriate to the age of the
child, thereby encouraging inner mathemetical awareness and
thinking -- favour depth over superficiality, to avoid teaching
blind procedures to solve meaningless problems. This student's
workbook for Class 6 contains practice questions, with room for
working, on all the topics a student needs to cover in
Steiner-Waldorf Class 6 (age 12-13). The book includes: Review
topics from previous years: multiplication, short and long
division, fractions, decimals, measurement, unit cost, factors, and
estimating. New topics for Class 6: casting out nines, exponents
(powers), square roots, divisibility, formulas, the imperial and
metric systems, converting decimals to fractions, and fractions to
decimals, angle measure, percents, mean/median/mode, pie charts,
line graphs, area and perimeter, business maths (discount, profit,
etc.,), ratios, rates (speed, wages), exchange rates and complex
fractions. Mental maths: it is as important as ever for children to
develop the ability to do calculations in their head. Each
worksheet therefore begins with a secion on mental maths, focusing
on one of our areas described in the Teacher's Source Book
(available separately): multiplication, with selected facts from
the 13 to 18 times tables and 25 times table; powers with base 2 to
5; fraction to decimal conversions; and maths tricks. Note that
this workbook is also available in a pack of ten with a teacher's
answer booklet.
