Jump at Home: Grade 6 (JUMP at Home Math Workbooks)

As a math tutor, I find this book provides low risk/high impact problems for my charges. Purposely designed to be straight-forward and no frills. this is not to be used stand alone math program. Finding the beauty of numbers takes time, and many, many delightful hands on applications of real world math. That is...education via puzzles, patterns, connections, experienced in the kitchen, in the grocery store, in the great outdoors...This is a resource for practice. Think of it as scales for the piano. You can look for answer key on his website.

I was intrigued by John Mighton's The Myth of Ability and his claim for a way to break down key math (arithmetic) concepts to make them more understandable for students. I purchased the JUMP At Home Grade 6 workbook to see how the program works. I think that if you have a child who is a student in a school mathematics class and needs help with the basics, this is a good series to have.You can click on the link to search inside this book and check out the table of contents for more details, but I can tell you that this books covers sequences, patterns, mental math and estimating, multiples, multiplying, division, place value, fractions, decimals, ratios, percents, and more.As a math teacher, we're constantly seeing children struggle in school when the basics aren't strong. I think the JUMP program is a good solution to that problem.

Great resource, but I have found a few errors (or maybe I'm not ready for sixth grade math!). An answer key would be helpful. All that said, my daughter, who hates math, loves JUMP At Home.

This is a collection of very dry worksheets. Not a useful resource - rather a collection of drill and practice sheets. I don't see the great JUMP vision here. This material would turn off students who are struggling.

Great book for my kids

Felt a little deceived as this book was almost identical to the grade 5 version.

I bought these "At Home" books thinking I could use them to supplement what my kids were doing at school with their Jump Math Books by using the At Home ones to do the same units/types of questions at home simultaneously. Unfortunately, it's not the case. After not being able to find any of the same units/types of questions in my 3 kids' Jump At Home books as the questions they were doing in the Jump at School books, I called Jump Math. I was told that only 60% of the same curriculum of the Jump school books is in the At Home books. Also, they are not setup the same way so to check if the problems your child is working on at school are in the home book, you have to go through the tedious process of looking through the huge table of contents.Why wouldn't they put 100% of the Jump Math books used at school in the At Home books and make them more user friendly is a mystery to me. I have bought these books for grade 3-6 and haven't been able to use them once for the purpose I had hoped to use them for.They don't include the answers. I don't know about you, but I don't have time to complete a math workbook (x3 for each of my kids) so that I can mark my kids' work!= big waste of money

Great for the price and a helpful book for struggling students in math.

If your child is struggling in math or you are a teacher, these books are a great addition. The directions are concise. There are usually examples provided for each activity. Even if you only use it for ideas, it is a great reasource to have. I have found that students find the directions easy to follow. I have also used it for tutoring.

The concepts are well explained. It's a great resource to supplement school learning

This is an excellent source to compliment the math that's going on in schools right now. It breaks concepts down in simple, manageable, and tangible sequences. As an educator for the last 10 years, this is a great source for your child!
