Presents mathematical shortcut and "how to develop a calculator in your head."

This book has number of multiplication facts for daily practice by students. Each page has one set consisting of 50 problems. It is recommended for students to attempt 1 set daily for consistent practice. Book starts with times table charts for easy reference followed by some quick multiplication facts. Once students start gaining confidence in individual facts, they can attempt mixed facts. Book can be used to track practice time for each set. Date and time can be recorded at top of each page. Answer to each problem is given at the end of the book.Knowing multiplication facts is helpful not only in academics; we frequently use multiplication in our daily lives too. Just like learning to walk before you can run, learning multiplication and familiarizing yourself with numbers are building blocks for other math topics taught in school - such as division, long multiplication, fractions and algebra.Mastering the basic math facts develops automaticity in kids. Automaticity is the ability to do things without occupying the mind with the low level details that are required; this is usually the result of consistent learning, repetition, and practice. For instance, an experienced cyclist does not have to concentrate on turning the pedals, balancing, and holding on to the handlebars. Instead, those processes are automatic and the cyclist can concentrate on watching the road, the traffic, and other surroundings.Until students have developed sufficient sensory-cognitive tools supporting access to symbolic memory, they will not be able to image, store or retrieve all of the basic facts with automaticity. Therefore, students need a comprehensive, developmental, and multi-sensory structured system for developing automaticity with the facts.

This is the great Book for students that could use more practice reading clocks.Telling time Questions and Answer key included.

In this Book Addition and subtraction practice problems for kids (grade 3 to 5).One of the best resources for helping students learn the times tables. 160 pages filled with lots of practice problems.

This delightful blend of magic and math is conjured by the early American one-man road show, magician and mathematician Wallace Lee. Original magic tricks for self-entertainment and parties pop from the world of math. Examples are: Spelling Thoughts, Casting out Nines, Telephone Stud, Calendar on the Tip of Your Tongue, New Dresses for Old Tricks, and Bank Night with the Cards.

Washington State is about to enter a new phase of the "math wars." Since the late 1980s, the debate over how best to teach mathematics to schoolchildren has raged worldwide among educators, politicians, and parents. The stakes are high. To operate effectively in a global, twenty-first-century economy and polity, the United states must provide an education in mathematics that is both excellent and equitable. In this volume, four scholars at the Washington School Research Center (WSRC) at Seattle Pacific University present original research drawn from statistical studies of state educational data and from thousands of classroom observations carried out by The BERC Group. They assess the current state of math education and review its history and development. The authors also provide a dispassionate review of the extensive international, national, and state literature. The in-depth observational research in Winning the Math Wars confirms that the real issue is neither the approach to teaching--traditional or reform--nor the type of curriculum. If America's goal of educational equity and excellence is to be achieved, then math teachers everywhere must be fully supported in developing the specific skills that are ideal for educating all students. The authors discussion focus on four principles for improving math teaching and learning: fidelity to reform efforts by all involved; an emphasis on instruction and instructional tools; the critical nature of mathematical knowledge; and the need for transformational change. Winning the Math Wars is an important book for policy makers, school leaders, practitioners of mathematics education, parents, and anyone who wants to make sense of the "math wars."
