MathWise Decimals with Answer Key: Skill Set Enrichment and Practice

By Peter L. Wise

MathWise books are unlike any of the other math workbooks available for students. Most math textbooks and workbooks have a mini-lecture at the beginning of each lesson, and then have pages of problems. Students often get impatient with the explanations and have difficulty knowing how to proceed to work the problems. The format looks dry and boring, and students lose interest.MathWise books communicate with students as they work through the book. The answer boxes teach good technique, neatness, and organization. Students are guided through the steps in a fun, friendly way, with speech bubbles giving hints and explanations.MathWise books emphasize deeper level understanding of the material--how and why math works the way it does. The key is: "Understand more, memorize less."MathWise books all work together to ensure the development of strong number sense and mathematical thinking. MathWise Percents teaches basic percents through number manipulation and more advanced percents through ratios/proportions. Included are practical applications of percents with discounts, tips, and tax.Students benefit, not only from the percent instruction, but from the skillfully-designed problems that teach students how relate numbers to one another.This book is appropriate for enrichment, pre-teaching, review, or as a refresher for an older student who needs to review percents basics.
