Using this new book to supplement my homeschooled 7th grade boys. Definitely written at a sixth grade and above level. Recommended for ages 11-12. I would agree with that. The pages are clean and uncluttered. Gets your child the most important information about each subject. Has a lot about metaphors, ratios, and logic, which was a nice surprise. I highly recommend this book for any child who is 11 or older. We have used Brainquest books of many grades for years. Nice homeschool supplements to whatever curriculum you prefer. (We also play the Brainquest board game to supplement our homeschool.)
This book is great. We've used other brand workbooks in the past and this one is by far the best I've tried. My kids don't like it much - we use it as a time filler in the summer to keep their skills sharp while they are out of school. It seems to match up well to what the kids are learning/have learned in school. The pages are laid out nicely and are easy to follow - I like that there is an answer key in the back just in case. I will buy this brand again next year. This mom approves!
I wanted something to keep my son's mind from rotting all summer so I ordered him this workbook and had him do a few sheets each day and let him pick what ones he wanted to do. I thought he would complain about doing them but he did them almost happily and I really think it helped keep him focused for the new school year. I got him the 6th grade book as he was rising from 5th to 6th and he did not have any trouble and it was good because if he didn't know how to do something I would help him or he would look it up but for the most part he could do them all on his own.
The hypotenuse of a triangle can't be shorter than the triangle's height! On page 210, a triangle diagram shows height =9, and hypotenuse =7. The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a triangle. It's not helpful to students when the book doesn't understand the topic. This is the only page I've looked at since my son asked me a question about it. So, there are probably additional errors.
Very happy with the work books they have removable pages for my daughter they likes to work ahead when she is not supposed to. Answer key in the back is very helpful after a long days work and i don't feel like working out all the problems myself. Will be getting the the next grade set of books for my kids.
I have been waiting for them to come out with the 5th and 6th grade workbooks for some time since I am crazy about Brainquest and have all the others as well! I have used this line of workbooks through out the years, and have found them to provide more total coverage of topics and information then any other multiple course workbook...and the best part...the kids actually enjoy them and like doing the work!! Someone is definitely getting it right at brainquest that's for sure!!!
bought these for the kids to do a chapter or two at a time, at their leisure over the summer to prep them for upcoming school year. they were PERFECT. takes a while to get thru them (thick) so will be ordering next year's before summer vacation even begins. covers all subjects, illustrations are colorful (third grade's are extra adorable), chapters are divided by a colored bar down the edge of the page thats easy to see and mark progress. kids resisted doing them at first, but ended up really like them, we had fun, by the time we got thru them, they said they learned a LOT an were glad theydid them. i have no doubt this will result in a smooth year of homework -- anything the teacher brings up they will have probably already covered and be familiar with. its kind of like being able to give them one on one learning vs. the 1/30 or so they get in school. only drawback is couple typos here and there, example: the answer for surface area of a book cover (found in the back answer key section) was transposed with another. kind of surprised that got by proofreaders. all in all, tho, very worthwhile.
A cut above the rest of workbooks for 6th graders! Has more than the standard 6th grade curriculum (which is included also), includes about 10 subject areas including research methods, verbal math problems, science and social studies. I wish this book was available at the beginning of the school year, as my daughter is finishing 6th grade. I'll use it for summer work.
