Key Points

1) A NEW KIND OF "BIG FAT" BOOK: If the Big Fat Notebook is like borrowing the notes from the smartest kid in class, the Big Fat Workbook is like being personally tutored by the best teacher in the school: it's packed with practice worksheets (and explanatory answers!) that help students truly understand math concepts and know exactly how to solve the problems they're presented.

2) A BOOK THAT STANDS ALONE - BUT ALSO WORKS ON THE SHELF NEXT TO BFN MATH: You don't need to know the Big Fat Notebook: Math to benefit from this workbook - it's a great resource all on its own, and each workbook page includes a brief recap of the key concepts being practiced, followed by an example question, all written in the plain, easy-to-understand language that BFN is known for. But students who do use BFN: Math (and that's over 200,000 a year based on Bookscan sales!) will find that this workbook ties closely to the Math notebook: chapter numbers and titles are the same in both books, so students don’t have to hunt to find the workbook pages that match the pages in the notebook. And example questions are solved using the step-by-step process shown in the Big Fat Notebook.

3) LEARNING THROUGH PRACTICE (AND ANSWERS THAT ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHERE YOU WENT WRONG!): There's a reason why math teachers assign practice questions: because the more you try something, the more it makes sense and the stronger you become in the subject! This workbook is packed with exercises that provide lesson reinforcement, intervention, reteaching, and practice for middle school math students. Questions reflect multiple levels of difficulty—from basic to higher order thinking, as well as real-world application problems. And instead of a plain "answer key," there's a solution process section at the end of the book, with step-by-step guidance on how to solve the problem so students can see how they may have gotten an answer wrong.
