Workman Publishing is proud to introduce a groundbreaking new entry in the educational market with The BIG FAT NOTEBOOK™ series (on sale August 9, 2016 / $14.95 each) — a suite of revolutionary study guides for middle school students that focuses on the five core subjects. Much as BRAIN QUEST makes learning fun, The BIG FAT NOTEBOOK series makes studying-up cool, delivering everything a student needs to know to ace Math, Science, English, World History, and American History. In addition, they provide a model for teaching students how to effectively write and organize notes of their own; an important skill they’ll take into their high school years and beyond.

The series is based on an ingenious concept—borrowing notes from the smartest kid in class—and features a highly designed notebook format that will wow students with its neon covers, illustrated doodles, and highlighted content throughout. Every detail has been developed with the middle school student in mind. Never before has there been as thorough and appealing a resource for this age group.

Inside the pages, readers will discover every subject’s key concepts, easily digested and summarized along with:

Critical ideas highlighted (using a color-coded system)
Doodles that illuminate tricky concepts
Mnemonics for memorable shortcuts
Maps, timelines and charts
And quizzes to recap it all!
So what’s inside each Big Fat Notebook?

Everything You Need to Ace Math . . . covers everything to get a student over any math hump: fractions, decimals, and how to multiply and divide them; ratios, proportions, and percentages; geometry; statistics and probability; expressions and equations; and the coordinate plane and functions.

Everything You Need to Ace Science . . . takes readers from scientific investigation and the engineering design process to the Periodic Table; forces and motion; forms of energy; outer space and the solar system; to earth sciences, biology, body systems, ecology, and more.

Everything You Need to Ace American History . . . covers Native Americans to the war in Iraq. There are units on Colonial America; the Revolutionary War and the founding of a new nation; Jefferson and the expansion west; the Civil War and Reconstruction; and all of the notable events of the 20th century—World Wars, the Depression, the Civil Rights movement, and much more.

Everything You Need to Ace World History . . . kicks off with the Paleolithic Era and transports the reader to ancient civilizations—from Africa and beyond; the middle ages across the world; the Renaissance; the age of exploration and colonialism, revolutions, and the modern world and the wars and movements that shaped it.

Everything You Need to Ace English Language Arts . . . takes students from grammar to reading comprehension to writing with ease, including parts of speech, active and passive verbs, Greek and Latin roots and affixes; nuances in word meanings; textual analysis, authorship, structure, and other skills for reading fiction and nonfiction; and writing arguments, informative texts, and narratives.

The BIG FAT NOTEBOOK series meets Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and state history standards, and is vetted by National and State Teacher of the Year Award–winning teachers.
