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 B is a complete curriculum for first grade math and includes some extension material. Suitable for the typical first grade student. Can also be used to extend and enrich the learning of a younger child.

Reviews:

"This is a wonderful 1st grade math book. Each page is colorful and fun but a lot of them force the child to sit back and think for a minute. My daughter, who should have just started kindergarten, is on level with the 1st graders that my sister teaches in public school and we don't even have to put in as many man hours. Highly recommend."

"This book has been such a hit with both of the children. The pages are in large print, lots of colors, and easy to understand directions. I should also say that I love that there is a page on letting parents/homeschoolers know how to use this book."
