The Big Fat Middle School Math Workbook: 600 Math Practice Exercises (Big Fat Notebooks)

8th Grade Homeschool Review:As a parent and homeschool educator, I've been using a set of books for 8th-grade homeschooling, and I'd like to share my thoughts. These books have proven to be a valuable resource in our homeschool journey. They provide a solid foundation for various subjects, covering a wide range of topics essential for 8th-grade students.What I appreciate most about these books is their comprehensive approach. They offer a well-structured curriculum that allows students to delve into subjects such as mathematics, science, literature, and history. The content is clear, and the exercises and activities help reinforce the learning process.However, it's worth noting that while these books are fantastic as guides, they might not provide all the answers. As with any educational materials, there may be moments when students need additional support or clarification. In such cases, we've found supplemental videos and other educational resources to be incredibly helpful. The combination of these books and supplementary materials has been the key to a well-rounded education.Subnote:This review is intended to serve as a general overview for all the books I'm currently using for 8th-grade homeschooling. If any of the books stand out, either for their exceptional quality or shortcomings, I will provide a more detailed review for that specific book. It's all about ensuring that our homeschooling experience is as enriching as possible.

Great for kids that struggle

I bought the whole middle school set for my son. We homeschool and have absolutely loved these. Very easy to understand. They are engaging and make learning more fun than a typical school textbook. Highly recommend these.

Great resource for my advanced 5th grader!

These problems are quite challenging, and the lesson is there but a bit limited. Really need to get the text book (notebook) lesson plan in addition to this workbook of extra exercises. There are a lot of exercises!I wish the answer key was a cutout so I could remove it to prevent the student from turning to the back to get the answers.

Really great book! My boys are about to start high school so we bought this to use a refresher course and we absolutely love it! The chapters are quick and easy to read but packed full of information and and examples.

its great! i learn so much

Great supplement to middle school math curriculum; we use it for our 6th grader on days off from school and major breaks, just to keep the videogame marathons at bay LOL Chapters match up very well with what's being taught (NYC), and sometimes puts him ahead of the lesson.There have been occasional discrepancies with some of the answers provided (dividing fractions; multiplying decimals come to mind), however, but not too big a deal, since the lessons are step-by-step in the examples, so you can ultimately check your own work yourself (which is how we knew the book was wrong). Highly recommended, tho -- and a good brush-up resource for those of us who def don't remember a thing from back in the day!
