Math Detective® 3-Book Set
Description & Features
Math Detective® uses topics and skills
drawn from national math standards to prepare your students for advanced
math courses and assessments that measure reasoning, reading comprehension,
and writing in math.
Methods Students read a short story that includes
a chart, table, or graph. Next, they answer critical thinking questions
to improve their understanding of the math concept and develop their critical
thinking (comprehension) skills. Students can’t just scan the story
for answers—they must carefully analyze and synthesize the information
from the text and the chart, table, or graph to explain and support their
answers.
Stories are age-relevant, high-interest, and show students that math is
integral to everyday activities.
Teaching Support Includes general and student introductions, a lesson that explains the concept
of evidence, a chart of topics and key ideas to help select activities,
and detailed answers.
