Twenty-seven supplemental lessons for primary students involving mathematical thought problems on addition, subtraction, and comparison (e.g., greater than and less than) are presented. Each of the lessons contains 10 or more problems which students either hear or read and then respond to either orally or on written answer sheets. The materials in…

The purpose of this manual is to present a series of lessons on solving word problems, each focusing on a specific concept. The solving of story problems should be incorporated into the daily mathematics lesson so that children can maintain and increase their skills. The lessons are sequenced according to their complexity. Lessons one through…

Learning the techniques of critical thinking and problem solving can be easy for children when presented problems involving fun topics. Problem sets which range from easy to hard written by elementary school students and educational consultants are included.
