Overview - BASIC MATH PRACTICE BINDER - NUMBER CONCEPTS
These six reproducible binders in the Basic Math Practice series,
by PCI's Kristine Lindsay, include Number Concepts; Number Operations;
Measurement; Tables, Charts, and Graphs; Rounding, Reasonableness,
and Estimation; and Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. The binders
provide multiple opportunities for hands-on practice and application of skills,
including "real-world" word problems. Illustrated worksheets are designed with
a manageable number of problems per sheet, allowing the focus to be on understanding
and mastering each skill. Activities are appropriate for students of varying
ability levels. Activities in binders are appropriate for students of varying
ability levels and learning styles.
NUMBER CONCEPTS Includes over 160 activity sheets. Features
a unit for each of the following: shapes, patterns, counting, greater than and
less than, one-to-one correspondence, place value, and ordinal numbers.
NUMBER OPERATIONS Includes over 190 activity sheets. Features
a unit for each basic number operation. Units for addition and subtraction range
from basic facts to regrouping three-digit numbers. Units for multiplication
and division contain problems that teach basic facts. Activity sheets that feature
a word problem are incorporated throughout the binder.
MEASUREMENT Five units with over 170 activity sheets cover
customary linear measurement, weight, capacity, time, and temperature. Activities
with many visual aids address nonstandard and standard units of measure and
address relationships between units. Conversions are only covered when explaining
this concept (e.g., length in inches is compared to feet but not yards).
TABLES, CHARTS, AND GRAPHS Seven units with over 140 activity
sheets cover sorting; tables; bar, line, and circle graphs; pictographs; and
charts. Reproducible blackline masters of tables, graphs, and charts are provided
to allow the teacher to extend or reinforce concepts.
ROUNDING, REASONABLENESS, AND ESTIMATION Three units with
over 100 activity sheets cover rounding whole numbers and money; reasonableness
to find an appropriate solution, unit of measure, or monetary amount; and estimation
of solutions, measurements, and monetary amounts. The rounding unit contains
step-by-step flowcharts to aid students in rounding numbers.
FRACTIONS, DECIMALS, AND PERCENTS Three units with over 225
activity sheets cover adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions
(simple, mixed, and improper), decimals (numbers and monetary amounts), and
percents (0-100%). Most activity sheets include rules, explanations, and examples
to aid in students'''' understanding. The conversion among the three forms of integers
is also addressed through multi-step processes and applied in "real-world" problems.
The decimal unit contains step-by-step flowcharts to aid students in rounding
numbers to the ones, tenths, and hundredths places.
EACH BINDER INCLUDES Over 100 reproducible Activity Sheets,
Parent/Guardian Letter, Teaching Instructions, Research and Standards, a Progress
Chart, Assessments, Answer Keys, and more.
