Upper Elementary Challenge Math is designed for those students in grades 3-5 who need more challenging material than they typically encounter in most math curriculums. As in other Zaccaro math books, problems are presented at 4 levels of difficulty after each chapter’s instruction. In addition, each chapter includes multiple “problem sets” in which a single problem type is presented in increasingly complex steps, illustrating how a simpler problem can progress from 1 step to multi-step problem solving. Detailed answer section.

The Challenge Math series provides enrichment math activities and develops student problem solving skills. Children love the fascinating stories that tie math and science together and show real life applications for math.

Challenge Math contains over 1,000 problems at three levels of difficulty to challenge even the brightest students. In addition to questions and answers the book contains 80 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions for solving the problems.

The fun activities in this book enable children to apply difficult concepts in areas such as statistics, probability, algebra, physics, trigonometry, astronomy, and calculus. Loaded with exciting activities designed in an easy-to-understand format using cartoons and drawings, Challenge Math is a perfect tool to challenge your students.

As the parent of a gifted learner you may wish to expose your child to more advanced mathematics without pre-teaching material they'll be exposed to in school in due course. This is the title for you. Expand your child's understanding without simply accelerating them in a standard curriculum.

Many screening tests for gifted program entry attempt to measure children's understanding of mathematics rather than their ability to solve grade level problems. Challenge Math will build your child's understanding and give them the skills needed to solve problems in Gifted and Talented testing.
