Word Problems Building Mathematical Knowledge Through Problem Solving, Grs. 6-8

Teaching students how to tame the word problem dragon can be a challenging experience. The problems in this series were created to add depth and give meaning to the concept of solving word problems. Each page presents students with multiple problems that have a common focus. While the mathematical functions may be different for each problem, the common focus and attractive illustrations help them to become more involved in what each problem is really about.Your students will build skills in fractions, decimals, percentages, and more while completing the challenging word problems.Torrance, Harold is the author of 'Word Problems Building Mathematical Knowledge Through Problem Solving, Grs. 6-8', published 2000 under ISBN 9780742401365 and ISBN 0742401367.
