Visible Thinking In Mathematics 5B (3Rd Edition)

Singapore's Visible Thinking in Mathematics is a supplemental program that's perfect for students who could use additional guidance on the pictorial stage of Singapore's Concrete> Pictorial> Abstract method. Step-by-step explanations and strategies will help students visualize concepts--encouraging them to learn how to solve problems by "seeing them"--before they move on to more abstract skills. Questions develop a mastery of the actual concepts involved by presenting students with problems that feature the same context with different words, helping them to firmly grasp the difference between similar concepts. Critical thinking is also encouraged through questions that ask students to think about the ways in which they solved the problem. Visible Thinking Math 5B is designed for the second-semester of Grade 5. Each chapter features a "thinking platform" page that models the concept through examples; teaching notes at the bottom of the page provide a lesson focus for the teacher. This lesson-page is followed by the "Attaining Mastery" worksheet pages. Concepts taught in this 5B text include: decimals, percentages, averages, angles, triangles & four-sided figures, and volume of cubes & cuboids 218 consumable (non-reproducible) pages, softcover. 5th Grade.
