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!

Basic math skills plus problem-solving strategies equal student success! With this teaching resource students practice both basic number and operation skills and problem-solving strategies in the same activity.

Each activity pairs a basic math skill-such as adding, subtracting, or multiplying-with a problem-solving strategy, such as guess and check, find a pattern, or make a list.

Motivate your students and watch their critical-thinking skills blossom with this collection of challenging problems and puzzles.

Each grade-specific teacher resource book includes over 200 problems that make it easy for you to provide independent daily reinforcement and practice of essential skills.

The convenient reproducible format means that this teaching resource book can be used for problems of the day, for free-time activities, for learning center activities, or as daily homework. We've also included bonus problems that you can use for more challenging practice and answer keys that make checking students' work a breeze.

Sample Pages

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:

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.
