Math Mammoth The Four Operations (with a Touch of Algebra) is a mathematics worktext meant primarily for fifth and sixth grades. Being a worktext means that this book is a textbook and workbook together: the lessons include both the explanations of the concepts, as well as practice exercises. The main topics of this book are mental math strategies, simple equations and expressions, the order of operations, partial products, using all four operations in solving problems, and number patterns in the coordinate grid.

Math Mammoth The Four Operations (with a Touch of Algebra) is a mathematics worktext meant primarily for fifth and sixth grades. Being a worktext means that this book is a textbook and workbook together: the lessons include both the explanations of the concepts, as well as practice exercises. The main topics of this book are mental math strategies, simple equations and expressions, the order of operations, partial products, using all four operations in solving problems, and number patterns in the coordinate grid. Students encounter the exact definition of an equation and an expression. They practice the order of operations with problems that also reinforce the idea of the equal sign ("=") as denoting equality of the right and left sides of an equation. These kinds of exercises are needed because students may think that an equal sign signifies the act of finding the answer to a problem (such as 134 + 23 = ?), which is not so. Students solve simple equations with the help of a bar model. They also use the pan balance model to solve simple one and two-step equations and even some three-step equations. We review the thought of partial products (multiplying and dividing in parts), including how those partial products are seen in the multiplication algorithm, and how to use mental math to divide numbers in parts. Although the book is named "The Four Operations," the idea is not to practice each of the four operations separately, but rather to see how they are used together in solving problems and in simple equations. We are trying to develop the student's algebraic thinking, including the abilities to: translate problems into mathematical operations, comprehend the many operations needed to yield an answer to a problem, "undo" operations, and so on. Many of the ideas in this book are preparing students for algebra. The answers are appended.
