Math Multistep Problems Student Edition Grade 5 Multistep Math With Written Explanations
This series shows students how to solve multiple-step exercises and models how to explain math problem-solving in words. Writing an explanation compels students to analyze their work, and this process helps students to understand the steps they took to find their answers. These skills will prepare students to perform well on standardized tests and help them achieve the standards set forth by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Each activity contains guided practice that teaches students how to approach the problems by modeling a step-by-step process. Five units cover the areas of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability. Activity pages model a variety of step-by-step approaches to solving multistep math problems. Exercises emphasize the importance of explaining mathematical processes in words. Unit and overall assessments allow teachers to check the students' understanding of the concepts presented. Bound-in answer key. 64 pages.
