  • Much needed update of a book that has sold over 28,000 copies.  Entirely new activities as well as changes to things like outdated prices will make the book more relevant to today's teachers.
  • The topics of problem-solving strategies and "real-life" stories are still very popular among math teachers and are key elements of the NCTM Standards
  • Each story is followed by three problem sets of increasing difficulty, which makes it easy for teachers to use the books with students of different abilities.
  • Each chapter allows for mixed practice of various math skills, including estimation, using calculators, logic, working with whole numbers, making graphs and charts, and much more, so constant reinforcement and practice are provided.
  • A unique "emphasis matrix" allows teachers to quickly pinpoint the reading level of each story and exactly what math skills will be used in solving the corresponding problems.
