Spectrum Word Problems
Formerly titled Spectrum Enrichment Math, the Spectrum Word Problems series offers practice solving multi-step word problems that focus on real world applications. There are a varying number of chapters in each book (nine to fourteen), all of which follow the same format. Each chapter begins with a pretest, and then you work through the lessons, and take the posttest – number of lessons varies from chapter to chapter. There is a midway test in each level and a final test at the end of the book, which reviews all book content. With a 2014 copyright, the skills practiced are geared to the Common Core State Standards. Word problems can be a source of frustration for many students, and this series offers additional practice and helpful hints to build student confidence in this area and to prepare for standardized testing. Consumable, not reproducible with answer key in back. 112 to 124 pages. ~ Donna
