Mathematical Reasoning™ helps your child devise strategies to solve a wide variety of math problems. These books emphasize problem solving and computation to build the math reasoning skills necessary for success in higher level math and math assessments.

These highly effective activities take students far beyond drill-and-practice by using step-by-step, discussion-based problem solving to develop a conceptual bridge between computation and the reasoning required for upper-level math. Activities and units spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills.

Written to National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards Mathematical Reasoning Level C is a complete curriculum for second grade math and includes some extension material. Suitable for the typical second grade student. Can also be used to extend and enrich the learning of a younger child.

Reviews:

"The best part of Mathematical Reasoning is the bright, colorful pages. My daughter is an artist and enjoys colorful, interesting workbooks and lessons. So, she was thrilled when we received Mathematical Reasoning in the mail. She immediately sat down and started the first lesson. Every day when we finished our regular lessons, she asked if she could do more work in her Mathematical Reasoning book."

"This is a wonderful curriculum or supplement for use in the home school or for the student who just needs some refreshing of their math skills. The full color format throughout the book makes it engaging and really keeps the child interested in the math that they are learning. It is a spiral format which means there will be an aspect of math dealt with then a gap before it is brought back up in a more sophisticated manner, that way the child has time to grasp simpler concepts before moving on."

Reviews:

"As a teacher I like the problem solving activities as these could be used over again or with several students in the classroom." -iParenting Reviewer

"Mathematical Reasoning presents math in a way that makes it not only simple to learn, but also practical to apply to everyday circumstance (obviously making math more meaningful to him)." -Katherine, Mississippi

"My son hated math. I saw your curriculum and gave it a try. Wow, what a great fit for my son! Your Mathematical Reasoning curriculum gave him a way to learn math that made sense to him. Thank you!" -Amy, Ontario, Canada

"For the money, the books are excellent buys and worthy supplements to any childhood students education." -Maxine, "Teaching Children Mathematics" published by NCTM

"As a math instructor, I am so happy that it looks like I may have a math-brain in my family after all! He asks to do his math school work (Mathematical Reasoning book) every day!" -Janelle, Math Teacher & Parent
