Encourage students to actually think about mathematical processes with The Critical Thinking Co.'s Math Word Problems series. Designed to help students learn when and how to apply their mathematical knowledge to word problems (and life!), these problems are "mixed" in the approach students will have to use.
Written at an elementary-grade level, any student who can use the four basic arithmetic operations can use this book. This is "Book A" in the series, and covers primarily whole numbers and fractions.
Instructions are provided at the beginning of each section with example problems modeling an approach to solving the problems. Answers are included at the back of the book. 90 classroom-reproducible pages, softcover. Grades 4-6.
