Synopsis

Success in math requires children to make connections between the real world and math concepts in order to solve problems. Extra practice can help young problem solvers advance to more complex topics with confidence. The activities in this workbook are designed to help your children catch up, keep up, and get ahead. Best of all, they'll have lots of fun doing it! Some of the great features you'll find inside are:

BASIC MATH
Tic-Tac-Toe
A twist on this classic game helps students develop a solid understanding of factors, prime numbers, and composite numbers.

Dueling Denominators
Students gain practice determining the lowest common denominator between fractions and then adding them.

MATH GAMES & PUZZLES
Secret Meeting
Professor Wormhole, a genius scientist, wants to meet in a secret location. Students must substitute numbers for letters using a code and multiplication skills to find the secret meeting place.

Awesome Avatars
A new video game lets you design your character before you start playing. With choices such as skin color, hairstyles, outfits, and shoes, students determine how many characters can be designed.

MATH IN ACTION
Cool Collections
Students use multidigit division to find out the number of album pages needed to hold collections of baseball cards, photographs, and stamps.

Graph It
Students survey friends about books they've read in the past month and use their graph skills to plot the answers. Then they determine the range, median, mode, and mean of their results.

Give your child's confidence in math a boost with 5th Grade Super Math Success.
