Balance Math & More Level 3 Workbook - Sharpening Critical Thinking, Computational, & Algebraic Reasoning Skills (Grades 6-12)

The Balance MathTM & More! activities sharpen students' critical thinking and computational skills, and develop algebraic reasoning. Each book is made up of three different types of puzzles: Balance Math: Students examine the balances to deduce the missing value. Inside-Out Math: Students need to reverse their thinking, using the inverse relationships between addition and subtraction and multiplication and division to solve the puzzle. Tic Tac Math: Students figure out the correct order to complete all rows, columns, and diagonals. Level 3 involves addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication as well as fractions and decimals. The spiraling difficulty level is designed to scaffold a student's conceptual understanding of the targeted operations from beginning to advanced. Teaching suggestions and detailed solutions are included. Try one of these intriguing puzzles-and then try to stop!
