This is a helpful overview of the math that kids are getting in grades 6-8.
The book includes:
- reasons for what is included in common core.
- specific areas of study for each grade, 6-8.
- within each area: concepts, examples, and alternate examples
- how a parent could be helpful.
and much more.
Compared to math for previous generations of students, where memorization was often stressed, this approach is more conceptual. Both then and now, students would need to find answers. But now the approach is more analytical and conceptual, which gives students more methods and tools for analysis of later harder problems.
