Cookie Recipes & Allowance
Whether your children realize it or not, they use math every day, from doubling the cookie recipe to banking their allowance. But mention word problems and most children recoil. Word problems are designed to show that the mathematical principles your children are learning are related to the mathematical problems they will encounter in real life.
Repeated, Daily Exposure
Most math textbooks emphasize rote drillwork. But real life applications, the most important part of any subject matter, are often overlooked. Yet even if a math curriculum includes the national norm of about 10% word problems, most children benefit greatly from repeated, daily exposure. With just minutes a day, Daily Word Problems will help your children apply mathematical knowledge to analyze and solve real-world problems.
Mimicking Real Life
The hardest thing about doing word problems is taking the words and translating them into the math equation, so though the use of interesting themes, charts, and graphs, Daily Word Problems will help your child see patterns to solving these types of problems. Daily Word Problems' inclusion of diverse word problems to mimic the problems faced in the real world will help your children to understand that no matter what occupation they choose, they will need math.

Reviews from Timberdoodle's Blogger Review Team:
Evan-Moor Daily Word Problems - (Math) ~ A Review
"...Word problems are a fantastic way to warm up their brains and to reinforce math concepts...We talked through the problems, picking out key words, and deciding which operations would be best to use. I worked on the whiteboard while they worked on their worksheets. This 5 minute (or less) exercise requires the boys to use logic and critical thinking applied to daily life situations, and remind them that yes, they WILL need to use this in real life..."
