Learning is a continuous process. Even this process may continue for life time. These days learning has become an effort to fit oneself for desired competitive examinations. Aspirants are more in number than compared to number of seats available for them. We learn many things which have no linkage with the content areas specified for the specific level of the prescribed curriculum. We also learn many things which have multifarious relations with the content areas duly specified for the forthcoming examinations. It would be better if we fix our sets of curriculum definitely for definite sets of examinations.

We learn many things and also come across many experiences in our daily life. Some of such experiences strike our mind to a greater extent and some of the gained experiences remain as an off-sided thing because of the ignorance of our mind.

Learning, as one can go through in life, is not any forceful effort of the mind. It should have a support of mind, body and intellect. Then only it can bring variations in our thought process. There are so many faculties through which the learning of a student might move on. It may be a hybrid faculty combining some of the inter-related streams of study; such as Astronomy and Physics will jointly make the faculty of Astro-Physics; Geology and Information Technology will make the faculty of Geo-Informatics and many more. Parents often claim that their ward is proficient in some of the selected faculties and work with limitations in some other. Actually the trend of the study of a learner is a non-identifiable trend because of the chance of its alterations in relation to time. One cannot guess about the affinity of the brain before the age of 13 of a student. Learning affinity and allied success largely depends upon the combination of parenting and related service linings. Only parenting and any service lining without parenting may not bring any desired result in time. Combination of both the factor can link up the milestones leading ultimately towards success.

India Government has decided to centralize the process of admissions to various Graduate level Medical Colleges. This admission process will be accomplished by the entrance examinations taken up by National Testing Agency (or NTA). Aspirants having a willingness to attain the Entrance Examination conducted by NTA or other such testing agency should have access to the knowledge system duly prescribed for the prevalent knowledge drilling and information delivery pattern. Preparation for such kind of testing is also a job which requires prolonged involvement of the fellow learner. The learner with such willingness should have a strong base of knowledge which will ensure the smooth and swift propagation of mind and intellect through the definite path of success. We restrict our discussion to the limit of the content areas for which the present workbook is having some inputs. Students of class six should have a proper understanding of basic shapes, number system, daily life problems and ecological concerns. Most of the problems are related to daily experiences and normal operational concerns. It is expected that students should go on facing day to day problems from science, mathematics and humanities. They should also address problems related to high order thinking skills. They also participate in online digital classes and social media platforms for exploring relevant information on certain topic. Hunting merely for information may not fulfill the purpose in particular. Information duly collected should have adequate alignment with facts and figures for ensuring the process of remembering and recollecting such kinds of learning during need.

We are also incorporating few words from the faculty of mathematics. Most of the part of publication is based on the pattern of questions people select for Olympiads, Talent Search Examinations and other competitive examinations of similar nature. This publication also introduces a learner with some apprehensions of Critical thinking. Mathematics deals with some fundamental aspects related to time and space. We all learn different rules and related operations starting from our elementary stage of schooling. Different students take the subject differently as per their interest and willingness. Some students calculate values with adequate speed and some other students do the same with lot of difficulties. We also point out the development of fear related to Mathematics in the mind of some of the fellow students.

We cannot analyse the possible reasons of the development of such fear in the mind of students. This development cannot be generalised. It is not developed in the minds of all the fellow students. Things often become difficult when our fellow ward fail to correlate the linkages of real life problems with that of mathematical ones. It is the main reason of the lack of proper orientation in the process of the development of mathematical skills. A skillful student can correlate both the aspects of mathematics and real life problems with much efficiency. A skillful student of mathematics should be a good observer, a perfect planner, optimum analyzer and abled calculator. Some students can take much time in solving any individual mathematical problem that compared to the time taken by the other fellow from the same peer group. This book is designed to expose a student to different types of mathematical problems from the allied fields of the curriculum specified for the middle school. It is expected that this workbook can equip a student in different ways and enable them to acquire mathematical skills with a long lasting impression in mind..
