Welcome to Fundamentals Mathematics Book Six.

You have the skills you need to be a strong student in this class. Your instructor knows this because you have passed the Fundamentals Math Level Five class, or you have been assessed into this level.

Adult math learners have many skills. They have a lot of life experience. They also use math in everyday life. This means that adult math learners may already know some of what is being taught in this book. Use what you already know with confidence!

Unit Tests are written after each unit. Again, you must reach the Aim before you begin the next unit. If you do not reach the aim, the instructor will assist you in finding and practising the difficult areas. When you are ready, you can write a B test to show that you have mastered the skills.

A Final Test is to be written when you have finished the book. This final test will assess your skills from the whole book. You have mastered the skills in each unit and then kept using many of them throughout the course. The test reviews all those skills.
