Dare to Compare: Math
Exactly the sort of practice needed to make math practical in everyday life. Which is a better deal? Pizza for $1.50 a slice or all you can eat for $10? Or rather, how many slices do you have to eat for it to be a better deal? Of course, not all of the 150 problems are quite so pertinent to the life of a middle-schooler but the ability to make mathematical comparisons; to complete the necessary multiple calculations; and come to logical and correct conclusions is an important math and life skill. This workbook makes an excellent supplement to any math program and encourages the student to take note of all the comparisons in the world around him. In typical Critical Thinking Press form, the books are easy to use, provide complete solutions in the back, including hints for each problem, and are reproducible for home or classroom use. 92 pgs, pb ~ Janice
