Description
Mathematical Reasoning™ Middle School Supplement reinforces 7th and 8th grade math concepts and skills by asking students to apply middle school mathematics to non-routine problems. This user-friendly book is made up of 100 theme-based collections of problems, conveniently grouped in self-contained, double-sided activity sheets that provide space for student work and contain relevant math facts at the end of the worksheet.
Grouping the problems around common math content helps reinforce the target math concepts, and each activity set is accompanied by a single-sided answer sheet containing strategy tips and detailed solutions. Students are encouraged to try the problems first on their own, using reasoning and the provided math facts. If students struggle with a problem or do not remember a particular math concept, the math facts and strategy tips help reintroduce the concept and suggest ways to solve the problem. Calculators are allowed on activity sets that have a calculator icon at the top of the front side of the set.
Teachers and parents will appreciate the easy-to-understand, comprehensive solutions. This book is a wonderful enrichment tool, but also can be used to assess how well students have learned middle school math concepts.
If you're searching for additional practice pages to supplement your math program, but are wanting more than basic drills, then this is the series you've been looking for. These supplement books contain page after page of non-routine math problems that will challenge your child's grasp of math concepts as well as ability to mathematically reason.
The following is a small sampling of problems you can expect from this series. For example, in the Grades 2-4 supplement, your child is tasked with forming the largest/smallest sum, difference, and product by choosing operands from a given set of numbers. In Grades 4-6, your child is challenged to deduce possible values for an unknown value N given a set of 4-5 rules, or number properties. And finally, in the Middle School Supplement, your child's understanding of percentage is put to the test by calculating the percentage of a pizza's surface area that is covered in pepperoni.
The lower and upper elementary supplements (2-6) each contain over 300 pages, with practice divided into 6 key content areas: Number and Numeration, Geometry, Operations, Measurement, Relations, and Tables and Graphs. The middle school supplement (7-9) is over 300 pages, with practice divided into 12 content areas: 2D Geometry, Number Operations; Rates, Ratios and Proportions; Probability, Fractions, Patterns, Percents, Graphing, Statistics, Number Theory, 3D Geometry, and Miscellaneous. All supplement books contain reproducible student pages with answer guide included. ~ Anh
