In Book 1 of the series, 'Number Sense', students will explore various forms of numbers, including integers, fractions, decimals, and percents. They will learn to compare different types of numbers and to use them in various kinds of computations. Number sense is divided into useful sections: Review sheets contain easy-to-understand definitions and examples that clearly explain concepts, provide valuable practice and serve as handy reference guides. Skill-Builder Sheets present intriguing story problems that use humor, creativity, and mystery to engage students. Each sheet covers a specific concept which is clearly labled at the top of the page. Extra-Practice Sheets are designed to add an additional challenge for students who have mastered the previous sheets. In addition to the basic concepts, students must use additional skills, such as measurement conversion, chart analysis, and selection of the most appropriate number form. These sheets give teachers the extra flexibility to tailor lessons based on grade level and ability.
