MathWise Books with Answer Keys (Gr. 3-6)
Sometimes a little more practice is all that is needed to hone specific math skills. This series offers just that: topical practice, review, and extra practice. Peter Wise is a math teacher and author of this series that takes a fresh approach to helping students understand. The basics are intended for any grade level that might include them and are explained in a comic-style format. The books vary in length and are divided into one and two-page topical practices. Special features include tips and tricks (memory aids), speech bubbles with teaching insights, step-by-step procedures, simplified terminology to introduce concepts, and occasional concept quizzes. Each book goes from simple to more complex explanations and challenge problems are included to stretch students. Every topic includes explanations, samples, practice, and answer keys (not solutions) are found at the back of the book. There is plenty of room for students to work right in the book, and these are reproducible for a single classroom or family. This series is affordable, practical, and a great option for students struggling with specific concepts, needing more practice, or getting a jumpstart on new concepts. ~ Donna
