Games

Students strengthen their problem-solving skills as they learn the math concept in each game. As students discover the winning strategy for each game, they go through steps similar to those used in problem solving.

Writing Problems

Students create their own word problems using real-world situations. This strengthens students’ understanding of the structure of a word problem and encourages risk-taking and perseverance.

Reinforcement Masters

Reinforcement Masters are found in the Skill Builders section of the Teachers Resource Manual. Some follow-up activities use these Masters to further student practice.

A Variety of Assessments on Student Pages Encourage Reflection and Communication About Learning
