How far can I use the Light Blue series? Will it cover pre-algebra or algebra?
Right now, my goal is to write 6th grade (finishing that in 2010) so that the series will be a complete curriculum for grades 1-6. I do not have any plans made for further grades. After completing 6th grade with Math Mammoth, most students should be able to continue with pre-algebra. I have some suggestions for pre-algebra books here. In the Golden Series, you will find worksheet collections for 6th, 7th (pre-algebra), and 8th/9th (algebra 1). These are useful as supplements but unless a parent or teacher is supplying the instruction, they could not be used as a full curriculum.
Math Mammoth 6th grade includes some concepts that are also studied in prealgebra (ratios, proportions, percent, integers, pi). After completing Math Mammoth 6th grade, most students should be able to continue directly to pre-algebra. Also, the whole series emphasizes algebraic thinking and thus prepares students for algebra. But Math Mammoth Light Blue Series does not cover algebra 1 topics. In the Golden Series, you will find worksheet collections for 7th (pre-algebra) and 8th/9th (algebra 1). These are useful as supplements but unless a parent or teacher is supplying the instruction, they could not be used as a full curriculum.
