Spark kids' mathematical thinking with 180 brief math prompts--one for each day of the school year. Prompts are a great way to strengthen basic math skills and encourage mathematical thinking. Each prompt asks students to solve a brief problem and then explain their thinking in writing.

Use the prompts as morning work, warm-up activities before math class, independent work, small-group assignments, homework, center activities, free-time fillers and assessment activities.

Prompts are organized from simple to more advanced and provide practice in the core areas of number and operations, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability, and algebra.

To make assessment a snap, answer keys are provided on the back of each prompts page. You'll also find helpful reproducible tools, including a prompts checklist so you can keep track of the prompts you've used, an assessment rubric, and a math journal cover and journal page. Give your students the math understanding they need with this valuable teacher resource!

Motivate students with math lessons based on real life problem-solving situations with food. Even the most hard to manage students are interested in the lesson when something worthwhile is being asked, solved, and eaten!

This book includes 93 lessons. The problem-solving activities provide reinforcement in the following math areas:

  • patterning
  • addition & subtraction
  • multiplication & division
  • fractions
  • measurement
  • geometry
  • money
  • time
  • graphing
  • estimation

Each activity lists the food item(s) you will need to solve the problem presented on the page. An activity may be completed individually, as a group, or as a class endeavor. Challenge activities which extend the problem-solving strategies are provided at the bottom of the student activity pages.

The methods used in this book help children make sense of mathematical concepts by allowing them to manipulate food items in order to solve problems. Careful observation of students as they work through the problem-solving process provides the teacher with a clearer picture of their mathematical thinking processes.

The activities can be assigned at specific times of the year, or used on a regular basis as extensions or reinforcement pages in an existing math program.
