Bridges the gap between computation and mathematical reasoning for higher grades and top test scores! Mathematical Reasoning teaches students to reason out answers and generate different strategies for solving a wide variety of math problems. The skills students develop improve their grades and test scores and prepare them for upper-level math challenges. Methods: Unlike dead-end drill and practice, these highly effective activities use step-by-step, discussion-based problem solving to develop a conceptual bridge between computation and the reasoning required for upper-level math. Activities and units spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills. Instruction/Answer Guide - Sold Separately. Includes concept overviews, answers, and focus questions that lead students to think mathematically as they verbalize the steps of working through concrete and abstract processes. 288 activities.
