6th Grade Math

Thinkwell's 6th Grade Math includes thousands of automatically graded 6th grade math problems, printable worksheets for each topic and subchapter, and lots of animated interactivities, but at the heart of it are fun and effective video lessons that students love to use.

Edward Burger is an award-winning teacher with a passion for teaching math, and he makes 6th grade math simple for all students. His video lessons easily teach math to students who struggle with old-fashioned textbooks in a typical classroom. It's the perfect study aid, and because it's available any time you need it for one fixed price, instead of by the hour, it's better than a math tutor.

Our complete 6th Grade Math package includes:
  • 12-month Online Subscription to our complete 6th Grade Math course with video lessons, automatically graded exercises, and much more.
  • CD Set (optional) contains all of the video lessons so that you can watch them when you're away from the internet.

When I used the Thinkwell program, I was very prepared for class and therefore able to participate more often. It is a "must have" resource, and I would not have done as well in the class without it.
