Description
Looking for a creative way for your child to practice math skills - one that will not lead to anarchy? This new series from DK may be exactly what you are looking for. Combining colorful pages with a built-in 10-minute timer, your children will be eager to "beat the clock" while doing math! The book contains over 30 grade appropriate lessons displayed on two-page spreads and is written to support the NCTM Standards. In the upper elementary grades, the workbooks provide practice in fractions, decimals, multiplication and problem solving. The unique ten-minute timer arrives connected to the book and is simple enough for the youngest of children to use. The timer records the length of time it takes to answer the questions in each lesson and can be used as a stop watch. If your child is still working at the ten minute mark, the timer will go off and your child will put the lesson away until the next day, motivating your child to work faster the next day to beat the timer. The front of the book offers a space to record the time taken to complete each lesson. A valuable tool for supplemental math practice or keeping math skills sharp during the summer months. Answers and parent notes are found in the back of the book. Pages are perforated for easy removal. Non-reproducible. 80 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne
