Dare to Compare: Math, Beginning (Grades 2-3)

Kids practice real-world math and mathematical reasoning with this innovative workbook. Rather than traditional problems, students perform calculations in order to make a comparison, then come to a decision about the answer. For example, your student will compute the price of two lunches to determine which meal is less expensive. The 150 problems include questions like who babysits for a greater number of hours? Which item weighs more? Which sale is a better deal? Which snack has more calories? Whose coins are worth more? Who travels further? Who has the higher score? Which fence is longer? Who has more money left? These real-life comparisons and others encourage kids to use their math skills in practical situations.  Hints and a complete solution for every problem included. 96 pages, softcover. Grades 2 – 3.
