Book Description
• Fresh, out-of-the-box instruction style that is fun, wacky & effective • Focuses on single skill sets • Develops solid number sense • Challenge problems throughout Master the fundamentals of fractions, grow in mathematical thinking skills, gain proficiency with number sense, and understand how and why math works the way it does. MathWise Fractions, Books 1 and 2 will help teach and explain basic, as well as progressively advanced, fraction skills. The fun, comic-style format appeals to a wide range of students. Speech bubbles are used throughout to give hints and explanations while students are solving math problems. Fractions, Book 1 teaches fractions as two-step problems (dividing by the bottom number and multiplying by the top number). Fraction circles, rulers, and counting exercises help students to progress in their understanding of number sense. This first volume includes material on equivalent fractions, fraction multiplication, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions (and vice versa), and simplifying fractions. Concept quizzes are given throughout the book to test students' knowledge of the procedures involved in working with fractions. This series of books is designed to be unique and to catch kids' attention in special ways: Tips and Tricks Students find tips and tricks not only helpful and memorable, but also interesting and motivating. Speech Bubbles with Teacher Insights Speech bubbles are used to provide guidance, point out insights, or give helpful hints as students are solving math problems. Students learn best by doing, and the instruction given in the speech bubbles is designed to (1) sharpen students' powers of observation, (2) increase number sense, and (3) instruct in digestible chunks. Simplicity of Instruction Concepts are explained clearly and simply. Every page (excluding review pages or quizzes) has a specific focus. Most pages have generous amounts of white space to keep students focused. Movement is from the simple to the increasingly complex. Step-By-Step Procedures Students learn best when given explicit, step-by-step instruction. When several steps are involved, they are numbered. This makes learning much more logical and memorable. Depth and Complexity Throughout the book there are challenge problems to stretch students' thinking. At your discretion, you can guide students through the more challenging problems (recommended) or, alternatively, you can have them skip these harder problems. Logical-Sequential Instruction Math problems are presented in a logical sequence, so that previous problems contribute to students' abilities to solve future problems. The order in which math problems are presented plays an important role in promoting number sense. Answer Key, available separately, is expected to be ready by Nov of 2014.

Book Description
MathWise workbooks are unique in that they give interactive instruction as students are working on math problems. Speech bubbles give insights, hints, and observations in measured doses-not all at once, so that students don't lose attention or get overloaded. Answer frames foster good technique-they ensure that students solve problems in steps and show their work. This is especially important in algebra, because the steps are essential components of the process, yet students want to solve equations mentally. Number sense and sound mathematical thinking are emphasized throughout. In addition to learning the concepts, students develop power with numbers and understand how and why math works the way it does. These books are skill-specific-not grade specific. Challenge problems are sprinkled throughout the books to stretch students' thinking and to help them grow in their problem-solving skills. MathWise books can be used to supplement any curriculum. They can be used for remediation with higher grades, and they can be used for enrichment with lower grades. They can also be used to pre-teach concepts or to review material that was previously presented. Students often say that the MathWise books helped them to really understand the material for the first time. The layout, explanations, tips and tricks, sequence of instruction, and mathematical connections presented in these books all contribute to the success of the curriculum. The material in the MathWise books took over 14 years to create and design. These books have been used, tested, and critiqued in the classroom for over a decade.

Book Description
MathWise books are different from most math workbooks for students. Math textbooks and workbooks typically have a mini-lecture at the beginning of each lesson, and then have pages of problems. Students often get impatient with the explanations and have difficulty knowing how to proceed to work the problems. The format looks dry and boring, and students lose interest. MathWise Integers teaches integer addition/subtraction through the Same Sign Rule and the Opposite Sign Rule, but also through visual manipulatives: traditional horizontal number lines, elevator-style number lines, and counters. The rules, visual manipulatives, and the problems themselves are designed to strengthen mathematical reasoning. Additional concepts include: substitution with integers, negative one as a sign switcher, integer multiplication/division, fact families with integers, basic inequalities, multiplication with negative fractions, negative numbers with exponents, and absolute value. Concept Quizzes are used throughout to test/review students' conceptual knowledge of integers.
