Teaches standards-based math as it develops children's reading and thinking skills!
Math Detective® A1 Software
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.
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.
