Core Math Skills (Grades 3 - 6)
Through real-world context and with a focus on the Common Core Math Standards, readers will see that math is truly everywhere. Students will explore the properties of operations, base-ten, adding and subtracting fractions, finding area and perimeter, and more through adventures at the amusement park, on the playground, in the kitchen, and elsewhere. Different strategies for solving problems are presented. Students will integrate concepts and be challenged to solve problems on their own as well.

Series Review: Core Math
Skills
"Each
volume presents specific concepts. For example, Bank
examines saving money and place values, Kitchen
discusses fractions, and Halloween explains
multiplication and division. Each spread provides a short, clear explanation and
then gives an example (e.g., cutting a sandwich, counting candy, or waiting in
line at an amusement park). A "Figure It Out" problem on every spread will
challenge but not frustrate children (answers are in the back). The examples are
clearly explained and include computational basics and problem solving."
