Your child walks through the middle school gate, backpack heavy but spirits high: they’ve already encountered fractions this summer.

That is exactly what this manual is — a reference supplementary school book, compliant with the curriculum, designed to succeed in the school year without multiplying purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in the layout. Here, \u003cb\u003ea lesson takes up one page\u003c\/b\u003e, never two. You open to the right page, read, do the exercise, and close it. No cross-references, no double-page spreads to unfold, no codes to enter to access a digital version. A paper book, paperback, that works without a connection, without a tablet, and without a license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deliberate choice. Digital textbooks and digital learning spaces have their advantages, but a middle schooler who revises in the evening in front of a screen rarely revises. A book sitting on a desk, however, gets opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is neither a textbook mandated by the school, nor a workbook, nor a collection of past exams. It does not appear on any school supply list: it is a parent's purchase, not a back-to-school requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it does not replace the teacher. It provides clear reference points, subject by subject, that the student can find on their own when a concept was poorly understood in class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe \"six major subjects\" in the 6th-grade table of contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe table of contents on page 2 announces what it calls \"the six major subjects\": French, mathematics, history, geography, moral and civic education, and then a sixth part that brings together science, technology, and English. No Spanish in 6th grade: the second foreign language doesn't start until 7th grade. No physics-chemistry under that name either: the science section deals with living things, matter, the sky, and technical objects. It is therefore not a manual devoted to a single discipline: neither a history textbook, nor a geography textbook, nor one of those French textbooks that you open subject by subject. In history-geography, you go from Lascaux to Rome, then from world maps to coastlines, in the same volume. The principle is summed up in one line, written on page 2: one concept per page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e39 illustrations, three maps, one timeline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contains 39 illustrations: 20 documentary photographs and engravings (the Lascaux cave, the Parthenon, the Colosseum, the Great Wall), three labeled maps, and sixteen diagrams and figures, from geometry to science, including civic benchmarks. Added to this is a chronological timeline of the ancient worlds, on page 62. The images come from Wikimedia Commons, are in the public domain or under a free license, and their source is printed under each one. The layout, in two colors and double rules, is reminiscent of school books of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho publishes this book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKidibook is an independent publishing house, not affiliated with the Ministry of National Education: this manual is neither published nor validated by it, and we do not send specimens to teachers. Our school books do not appear on any school's list. When new curricula come into effect, middle schools renew the textbooks they lend to students; these classroom books change, but this one stays at home. On page 1, the book states that it follows the official 6th-grade curriculum and complements teachers' lessons without replacing them. The text is written and laid out by us and is protected by copyright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the book does not contain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's best to state it clearly. There are no multiple-choice questions or answer keys: the exercises are short questions, one per lesson at most, with no printed answer space. There is no index or alphabetical glossary; the table of contents is thematic, subject by subject, without page numbers. And there is nothing to download: no online educational resources, no digital manual, no license to activate. What arrives at your home is a paperback paper manual, never a PDF file to print yourself: it works the day it arrives, without a connection, and it is yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA book you buy, not one you borrow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach copy is printed on demand, then shipped. It does not go through a bookstore, no bookseller orders it, and it is not borrowed from the school library or public libraries. A print-on-demand book also does not feed the used book market: you won't find it at book fairs or on the shelves of old textbooks. Each student keeps their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore 6th grade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book can also be opened during the summer before starting middle school. Before that, our other school books accompany students in primary school, from 1st grade (CP) to 5th grade (CM2): \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ma-super-annee-cp\"\u003eMa Super Année CP\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ma-super-annee-ce1\"\u003eMa Super Année CE1\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ma-super-annee-ce2\"\u003eMa Super Année CE2\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ma-super-annee-cm1\"\u003eMa Super Année CM1\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ma-super-annee-cm2\"\u003eMa Super Année CM2\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/pense-betes-primaire\"\u003eLe Grand Livre des Pense-Bêtes primaire (CP-CM2)\u003c\/a\u003e.
