Radius™ Improving Math Problem Solving Grades 5-6 by Learning Resources
Build story problem solving sills with Directed and Guided audio lessons that model when and how to use a skill or strategy, then support students as they apply it to a new problem. Kits encourage higher-order thinking with 14 different problem-solving skills and strategies each. Students follow 4 steps each time: understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan and look back. Use multi-sensory, independent learning kits for individual or center-based learning. Great for preparing for challenging story problems on standardized tests. Aligned with NCTM Standards. The topic that it covers is how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, equations with variables, add fractions, multiply with fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, perimeter, area & surface area, nets, volume, angles, directions in a coordinate plane, money, elapsed time, data analysis, find an average, line graphs, probability. It also covers skills that find relevant and irrelevant information, convert words into numerical expressions, estimate or find an exact answer, and solving a multi-step problem. Some of the strategies covered are how to use objects, draw a picture, make graphs, tables or list, solve a simpler problem, guess and check, work backward, use reasoning, and write an equation.
