Description
Is rote memorization of math facts not working for you? Then take a look at this book. Its whole goal is familiarization with math facts. That's a different idea, isn't it? Based on four educational strategies manageable amounts at a time, connecting facts to other facts and to patterns, exploring factor pairs, and readiness for higher level concepts these very creative worksheets are filled with interesting activities. Students progress through "easy multiples (10, 2, 9, and 5) and move onto square numbers (9, 16, 25, 49, and 64) and lastly consider factors of 18, 24, 28, 32, 42 and 48. The last section is a multiplication fact review designed to prepare the student for work with fractions, factors/multiples, and equivalent fractions. Instead of page after page of math facts to be worked with increasing speed, these worksheets seek to employ the brain, to get the student thinking about the numbers and the relationships between them. 108 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
