As your students’ math skills advance, you may find their enthusiasm and ability for more independent lesson times growing. Mathematical Reasoning provides a colorful and engaging worktext that allows students to work through many math skills in one lesson. Basic math skills targeted in this level are addition and subtraction. Daily lesson time varies, as parents are encouraged to let their child’s attention span guide what is completed. The top of each worksheet identifies the concept/skill being learned, which is a helpful guide for parents. Pages are perforated and can be reproduced for family use. Answers are provided at the back of the book for grading or self-check. Introductory pages help parents understand terminology, give teaching tips, and provide additional resources. Mathematical Reasoning keeps learning math fun as your students develop their math skills. 344 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca

Description
CONTENTS
A grade-level curriculum and supplement in one activity book approach! The Mathematical Reasoning series is a colorful and engaging worktext for students as young as 3 up through 9th grade students. At such an early age, mathematical reasoning begins with simple activities such as distinguishing between even or odd amounts and learning the ordinal numbers. This series is correlated to the NCTM standards, and each level will teach skills in number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. Accordingly, each level incorporates topics such as patterns, number lines, graphs, fractions, probability, and problem-solving, as well as basic math operation skills. The authors suggest working through these activity books page-by-page. The content spirals, which gives your child time to "digest" new concepts before moving on to more complex material. The full-color activity sheets should especially appeal to the younger student. Not only are the illustrations eye-catching, but they do an excellent job of demonstrating mathematical representations and relationships.
Although manipulatives are not required, a link to a virtual
manipulative website is provided in case additional concrete-level
reinforcement is needed. A wide variety of exercises and activities are
utilized to keep your child both interested and motivated. The goal is to move
students from a concrete understanding of math to a more abstract knowledge.
This is implemented by following these math stages: concrete, semi-concrete,
semi-abstract, and abstract. This cycle repeats each time a new skill is introduced.
The series incorporates discussion-based problem-solving to prepare students for mathematical reasoning required for upper-level math. Worksheets are reproducible in the family setting and answers are provided at the back for Levels B–Geometry. Work through from cover-to-cover as your math curriculum or introduce specific worksheets to strengthen skills needed as a supplement. ~Rebecca
