It is a question that has plagued math teachers for decades. Now you can answer the question.
The Make It Real Learning Activity Library, Volumes I and II, each contain 110 engaging real-world math activities that demonstrate everyday applications of mathematics. From baking chocolate chip cookies to choosing a cell phone plan to designing a swimming pool, the activities provide learners with valuable life skills in addition to mathematical understanding. Rest assured that each activity integrates real world information not just "realistic" data.
There are 11 workbooks in each of the Library volumes. Each workbook contains 10 real-world math activities and solutions. To make it easier for teachers to assess student work, the worked-out solutions are included on a duplicate copy of each activity.
Reviewers have raved about the quality of the activities. The following review is representative of typical reviewer comments.
I have to say that I knew I was going to love this product when I saw the objectives page. It told me what to expect from it. I like that. I was excited to see the inclusion of prices and estimates from actual stores and current census information. This book really lived up to it's promise. It is very relevant and that causes the children to engage and inquire further. The activities were just enough to supplement a math lesson and allow my son to see the practicality of the application he had just learned. And, eating his assignment after certain lessons was a bonus plan! I must also add that I was very pleased with the layout and design of the ebook. I was very professional and appealing. The structure and organization made it very easy to navigate and execute the activities. For a busy mom like me that is a must! I am very impressed with this product. It is excellent!
