My Annual SparkChart Post

What would I do without my laminated copy of Barnes & Nobles Math Basics SparkChart?

Two years ago, after complaining bitterly about the reform math used at my son's private school, I handed the middle school director a copy of this chart and said: This is what I expect my 6th grader to have mastered by the end of the year.

You can also download these charts from the Spark Notes website.

You need a color printer to print them, though. They're unreadable when printed in b&w.

boy, thanks for reminding me about these

I own the complete set (hard copy) & I'd forgotten I had them.

They're incredibly useful & convenient.

Do you suppose the SparkChart would qualify as a foldable? As a trifold, it could be thought of as resembling a "wrap" or possibly (if you have a real imagination) a burrito.
