To the Teacher
This Practice and Homework Book provides reinforcement of the concepts and skills
explored in the Pearson Math Makes Sense 6 program.
There are two sections in the book. The first section follows the sequence of Math Makes
Sense 6 Student Book. It is intended for use throughout the year as you teach the program.
A two-page spread supports the content of each core lesson in the Student Book.
In each Lesson:
Math at Home
The second section of the book, on pages 113 to 124, consists of 3 pull-out Math at Home
magazines. These fun pages contain intriguing activities, puzzles, rhymes, and games to
encourage home involvement. The perforated design lets you remove, fold, and send home
this eight-page magazine after the student has completed units 3, 6, and 8.

To the Family
This book will help your child practise the math concepts and skills that
have been explored in the classroom. As you assist your child to complete
each page, you have an opportunity to become involved in your child’s
mathematical learning.
The left page of each lesson contains a summary of the main concepts and
terminology of the lesson. Use this page with your child to review the work
done in class. The right page contains practice.
Many of the Practice sections contain games that will also improve your
child’s math skills. You may have other ideas for activities your child can
share with the rest of the class.
The Math at Home pull-out pages 113 to 124 provide more fun activities.

There were 8419 people who attended the football games.
➤ Estimate to check if the answer is reasonable.

8419 is close to 8400, so the answer is reasonable.

Here are some guidelines for writing questions for a questionnaire.
➤ The question should be understood in the same way by all people.
Instead of asking: Do you play video games a lot? ! Yes ! No
Ask: How many hours a week do you spend playing
video games?
➤ Each person should find an answer he would choose.
Instead of asking: What’s your favourite subject? ! Math ! Science
Ask: What’s your favourite subject?

➤ Solomon wanted to answer this question:
Is a thumbtack more likely to land
pointed end up or pointed end sideways?
To find out, Solomon Pointed End Up Pointed End Sideways
dropped 10 thumbtacks
a total of 10 times. He
recorded the results in
a tally chart.
From the data, Solomon concluded that a thumbtack is more likely to
land with the pointed end up than with the pointed end sideways.

The probability of an odd sum is 36
