This book is designed to help you succeed in your sixth grade mathematics study. Short lessons explain key points, while exercises help you practice what you learned.

First, begin with the Pretest. This will identify areas that you need additional help with, as well as areas in which you are more comfortable. Second, read the Table of Contents. Seeing how a book is organized will help guide your work. Third, look at the 10-Week Summer Study Plan. This will help you plan your time spent in practicing the skills you will master in this book.

Remember, the Summer Study Plan is only a guide for you. You may proceed more quickly on some lessons, and you may need to spend more time on other lessons. Fourth, notice the hints included in some of the lessons following the special Remember feature. These will help you remember key points that often make your mathematics work easier. Fifth, take the Posttest. This test will demonstrate what you mastered as well as areas you may have to return to.

Finally, remember the old saying, Practice makes perfect. In mathematics, practice may not guarantee perfection, but it certainly makes learning easier.

Many students will use this book as a summer study program. If thats what you are doing, here is a handy 10-week study plan that can help you make the best use of your time. When you complete each days assignment, check it off by marking the box. Complete the following test items. Complete the following test items.

The Mayor of Tampa told Angela that there are three hundred thousand, six hundred, thirty five people living in their city. When she writes this number in standard form, Angela will write Yousef is collecting signatures to build a park in his town. He needs 8,000 signatures to submit his petition. So far he has collected 2,875. Rounding to the nearest thousand, how many signatures can we estimate Yousef still needs to collect? Calculate. Miguel bought 11 cheese pizzas for his math club at school, but the club members only ate half of each pizza.

How would Miguel express the amount of remaining pizza as an improper fraction? How would Miguel express the amount of remaining pizza as a mixed number? Calculate. $33.25 $27.50 + $16.15 $99.45 $22.47 $2.99 + $3.02 $49.53 + $50.97 George has been measuring the amount of rainfall for the last three months. He measured 3.562 inches in April, 2.765 inches in May, and 3.015 inches in June. Rounding to the nearest tenth of an inch, what was the total amount of rainfall during these three months?
