Skill Builders: Word Problems FROM THE PUBLISHER
Welcome to RBP Books' Skill Builders series. Like our Summer Bridge Activities collection, the Skill Builders series is designed to make learning both fun and rewarding. Students often ask parents and teachers, "When am I ever going to use this?" Skill Builders Word Problems books have been developed to help students see the uses of math in the world around them. Exercises help students develop problem-solving skills in real-world situations while increasing confidence in their math skills. Content is based on current NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) standards and supports what teachers are currently using in their classrooms. Word Problems can be used both at school and at home to engage students in problem solving.
The sixth-grade math skills in this book include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, graphing, fractions, measurement, area and perimeter, money values, and time. Special emphasis is given to multistep problems. A critical thinking section includes exercises to help develop higher-order thinking skills. Learning is more effective when approached with an element of fun and enthusiasm -- just as most children approach life. That's why the Skill Builders combine entertaining and academically sound exercises with eye-catching graphics and fun themes -- to make reviewing basic skills at school or home fun and effective, for both you and your budding scholars.
