"California Mathematics: Concepts, Skills, and Problem Solving" was developed to specifically target the skills and topics that give pupils the most difficulty. It includes diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment; data-driven instruction; intervention options; and performance tracking, as well as remediation, acceleration, and enrichment tools throughout the program.Reading age for native speakers: Elementary School pupils (1st grade)
The
quantitative section of the GMAT measures basic mathematical skills,
understanding of elementary concepts and the ability to reason
quantitatively, solve quantitative problems, and interpret graphic
data.
The multiple choice Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency types are
intermingled throughout the 37 questions that you need to solve in 75
minutes.
Mathematics educators agree that problem solving is one of the
essential skills their students should possess, yet few mathematics
courses or textbooks are devoted entirely to developing this skill.
Supported by narrative, examples, and exercises, Ants, Bikes, and
Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates is a readable and enjoyable
text designed to strengthen the problem-solving skills of undergraduate
students. The book, which provides hundreds of mathematical problems,
gives special emphasis to problems in context, often called story
problems or modeling problems, that require mathematical formulation as
a preliminary step. Both analytical and computational approaches, as
well as the interplay between them, are included. This engaging book
will strengthen students' mathematical skills, introduce them to new
mathematical ideas, demonstrate the connectedness of mathematics, and
improve both their analytical and computational problem solving.
Students are encouraged to use the computer, or any tool at hand, for
experimentation or to test their ideas.
Problem Solving contains an introduction that defines the skills covered and explains why the skills are important, using concrete examples that students can relate to their own experiences. Breaking skills down into manageable and practical parts, this book offers firm guidance to students and creates an easy-to-follow path that will help them improve their problem solving skills.
