The word problems in these books help students conquer the "dreaded" math word problem by teaching them how and when to apply the math operations they know to real-life situations.

The developmentally sequenced problems in each book are arranged so they cannot be solved by rote processes. Each problem requires its own thinking/problem-solving approach rather than applying the same solution process to entire groups of problems.
