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.
Includes answers, instructions at the start of each concept, and examples to reassure students about what is expected of them.
