Students will quickly discover that QUICK SMART™ Math one of the handiest references at their disposal. Each book in the QUICK SMART™ Math Series places the knowledge of essential math concepts at students’ fingertips. These highly-informative books feature targeted applications and easy-to-use strategies for understanding and applying the critical thinking and mathematical reasoning necessary for academic success in the 21st century. All of the books in the QUICK SMART™ Series provide access to learning’s most useful and essential subject-matter resources. Unique features of the QUICK SMART™ Math Series Glossary of Math Terms•The math terms in the Glossary were carefully selected based on grade-level appropriateness, Common Core expectations, and instruction typical to the most recent basal texts.•All math terms are arranged in alphabetical order with clear, easy to understand definitions.•Each term is clearly defined, with extended definitions providing further context of key terms. Graphics that Guide Mathematical Understanding•Illustrations and labeled diagrams provide specific information to explain key math concepts.•Visual and written examples of key concepts build comprehension and further context.•Graphs, charts, and diagrams provide practice with interpreting and gathering data. Resource Pages•Problem solving strategies including how to develop a plan for problem solving are explored, as well as an introduction to the 10 most common problem-solving strategies.•Tips and strategies, specific to math, that quell text anxiety and foster confidence.•A comprehensive guide for students that details expectations under the Common Core State Standards. Independent Investigations•Think Like a Mathematician provides students guided practice with open-response questions based on a specific math fact. As references, students use the Glossary and Student Models of Written Responses.•Math Investigations provide students with opportunities to work with open-ended math problems. Students choose among a variety of math problems that require independent research and further exploration in order to solve. •Independent Investigations can be done alone, with a partner, or small group. Working with a partner or in a group provides further opportunities to critique work and explore different ideas and math concepts. Common Core: Applying Math Practices and Problem-solving Skills •Studies consistently show that students perform better when they know what is expected of them. A Student Guide to Common Core is provided so that students understand grade-level expectations.•Each math term is assigned the name of a Common Core math domain. This provides further opportunities to explore the different concepts associated with a variety of mathematical applications. There are other concepts in other domains that students will likely learn about. We’ve correlated those skills with the most recent basal instruction and have included information about those domains as well.
