This series of books is designed to be unique and to catch kids’ attention in special ways:
Tips and Tricks
Students have found tips and tricks to be not only helpful and memorable, but also interesting and motivating.
Speech Bubbles with Teacher Insights
Speech bubbles are used to provide guidance, point out insights, or give helpful hints as students are solving math problems. Students learn best by doing, and the instruction given in the speech bubbles is designed to (1) sharpen students’ powers of observation, (2) increase number sense, and (3) instruct in digestible chunks.
Simplicity of Instruction
Concepts are explained clearly and simply. Every page (excluding review pages or quizzes) has a specific focus. Most pages have generous amounts of white space to keep students focused. Movement is from the simple to the increasingly complex.
Step-By-Step Procedures
Students learn best when given explicit, step-by-step instruction. When several steps are involved, they are numbered. This makes learning much more logical and memorable.
Depth and Complexity
Throughout the book there are challenge problems to stretch students’ thinking.
Logical-Sequential Instruction
Math problems are presented in a logical sequence, so that previous problems contribute to students’ abilities to solve future problems. The order in which math problems are presented plays an important role in promoting number sense.
Answer Key is available separately.
