These success-proven exercises provide daily practice in various areas of math. There are 10 problems per page that reinforce and facilitate conceptual understanding in number sense, math reasoning, computation, time, money, measurement, geometry, probability, graphing, fractions, and decimals. The exercises systematically provide students opportunities to get practice in the most important math objectives each week and provide the teacher with immediate, easy-to-administer feedback of students' mastery.

This workbook can be used as a warm-up, homework, or as a diagnostic tool for the teacher, parent, or administrator. The individual pages can be used to diagnose weak areas and provide opportunities to facilitate the student's full understanding of concepts. Students are challenged and consistently exposed to a variety of concepts in all objective areas. Each book spirals in level of difficulty and continues to encourage students to think about math in real-life situations.

Disbrow, a mother of four, holds a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction and is continuing her education toward a doctorate in the field of education.
Disbrow is a very passionate teacher and believes in enabling people to develop thinking skills that can be applied to a variety of real-life situations. She also believes we as teachers and parents influence children's attitudes toward learning and math. Because of this we can choose to fear math or try to make sense of math and look at our world from a different perspective.
