Synopsis

Math need not be a lonely endeavor! This is a collection of 116 mathematics problems designed especially for groups. The problems focus on proportional reasoning, spatial visualization, and learning to generalize from patterns -- central pillars of any math curriculum.

The book includes help for the teacher, a topics grid, and connections to several high-quality middle-grades math programs.

About this title

Review

This book is a treasure in my chest. I have a long shelf of project-books, activity-books and all the rest that I bought to add some spice to the day in math class. This is my "go to" book. I use it every year, repeatedly. I use it in my "accelerated" classes and I use it in my "math lab" classes.
The math selections are outstanding in both interest and challenge levels - they also scale up to allow very bright students to be engaged. And if, like me, you've slogged through too many lame "cooperative learning" books and activities to count, you will be pleased with the design of that element of the program.
