About the book

More Practice Math is a guide to help improve children’s mathematical competence. As they get older, they’ll start to notice math becoming increasingly important since almost everything around us has something to do with numbers and patterns. The book solely focuses on four topics: the conversion on units, ratio tables, fractions and percentages. Mathematics is manual labour, which means lots of writing and repetition to help you advance faster. Therefore, all assignments in this book include practical examples and fully worked out assignments so that they can study independently as much as possible.

Example Pages

Chapter 1. Conversion of units

In this chapter you will practice how to convert some of the most commonly used physical quantities such as: distance, surface area, volume, and weight. For example, going from meters (m) to kilometres (km), grams (g) to milligrams (mg) or square meters (m2) to square kilometre (km2). You will encounter these physical quantities and units more frequently in daily life; therefore, it is important to put a lot of effort in practicing how to convert them.

Chapter 2. Ratio tables

In this chapter you will learn about ratio tables and why they are so useful. They are often used for calculations involving prices or weights. Ratio tables always contain two subjects that are linked to each other. This chapter really is about paying close attention to the information given in a piece of text, understanding where to place this information in a ratio table and perform calculations.

Chapter 3. Fractions

This chapter focuses on fractions. A large topic with many examples and assignments to get a good understanding on why it is sometimes much easier to calculate with fractions instead of decimal numbers.

Chapter 4. Percentages

In this chapter you will learn what percentages are and how they are applied in daily life. Aside from using percentages to perform calculations and indicate portions of numbers, they can also be rewritten as decimal numbers or fractions. Therefore this chapter reconnects to the previous chapters and brings together many of the previous subjects. 

These four subjects are essential for creating a strong mathematical foundation.
