For students on the cusp of middle school, Mathematical Reasoning Level G goes beyond drill and practice to really incorporate discussion-based problem-solving questions. Pages are still engaging with bursts of colorful graphics. Written directly to the student, there are fun facts, self-checks, and practice suggestions throughout. Critical thinking skills, decimal, fraction, and variables take the leading roles in this level. Teaching notes can be found on the bottom of certain pages to further guide instruction and provide additional resources like the Balance Benders series, Math Analogies, or Balance Math. 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. 440 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
