About this book: There are all kinds of problems around you every day. You may not be able to solve a problem right away. First you must think: What is the problem about? What are the facts? What is the question? Then you plan how to answer the question. Next you act to solve the problem and answer the question. Finally, you look back and check to see that your answer makes sense. This book will help you learn how to solve many different problems in math.

Fun math problems with well-explained answers. From the authors: "We wrote this book just for you. It's filled with our favorite problems. Some are hard. Others are really hard. Still others are really, really hard. . . What's great about these problems is that when you do them you get to use what you know about math in different ways. And doing them will help you learn lots more about math, too. . . Take this book along with you everywhere. this way you can do the problems while you're traveling, at recess, watching TV, eating lunch, under the covers, and over e-mail. You get the picture. Just do 'em!"

Awesome Math: Problems for Creative Thinking, Grade 6

Schools

This book introduces young children to the basic ideas of comparing and ordering lengths, weights, time, and capacities. Engaging hands-on activities develop these ideas, along with the concept of units of measure and the use of measurement tools. The investigations follow children's natural progression from using many copies of a unit to iterating the unit to using a tool that iterates the unit. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

Navigating Through Measurement in Prekindergarten-Grade 2 (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Navigations)

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Children in prekindergarten focus on counting and gradually master the essential one-to-one matching of an object to a number. By the end of second grade, they can represent one-, two-, and three-digit numbers, understand simple fractions, and apply a variety of facts and strategies to add and subtract skillfully. Investigations in this book support this progression by inviting students to count and order ducklings in a line, compute the total cost of several items on a menu, and play a variety of games that reinforce their understanding of number, addition, and subtraction. Problems in story form develop students' listening skills and immerse them in real-world mathematics. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

Navigating Through Number and Operations in Prekindergarten--Grade 2

Linda Dacey

The investigations for prekindergarten and kindergarten contained in this book engage students in such activities as creating story problems about teddy bears, examining patterns of fire trucks and firefighters' hats, and making glyphs to represent data about children in the class. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. As they work, they infer, generalize, reason by analogy, recognize relationships, and make representations, and they also guess, check, and revise and verify their results. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

Navigating Through Problem Solving and Reasoning in Prekindergarten-Kindergarten (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Navigations)

The explorations in this book include such tasks as supplying missing numbers in story problems, using clues to identify locations on a map, and placing shapes inside or outside a circle according to a rule. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. As they work, they infer, generalize, reason by analogy, recognize relationships, and make representations, and they also guess, check, and revise and verify their results. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

Navigating Through Problem Solving and Reasoning in Grade 1 (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Navigations)

The explorations in this book include such tasks as determining the coins in piggy banks, matching two-dimensional shapes with three-dimensional solids, and organizing data about hats in tree diagrams. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. As they work, they infer, generalize, reason by analogy, recognize relationships, and make representations, and they also guess, check, and revise and verify their results.
