Math First introduces students to motivating, high-interest science as they apply prerequisite math skills in real-world contexts. Scaffolded practice guides students to independent use of two approaches to solve math problems.

Math First is perfect for Intervention, Extended-Day, and Summer School programs and features:

• Motivating facts in science
• Real-world problems for math practice skills
• Pretest and Posttest in each book
• Modeled use of multiple approaches to solve math problems
• Math/Science glossary of terms
• Grade-level content boosts math test scores

Each 6-page practice lesson includes:

• "Fun Facts" from science to introduce each math skill
• "Give It a Try" modeled example
• Two approaches to solving the math problem
• Practice with both approaches
• Puzzle or activity applying the skill
• Problem solving strategy and practice

Math First focuses on:

• Number sense
• Algebra and Functions
• Measurement and Geometry
• Statistics, Data, and Probability
• Problem Solving and Mathematical Reasoning
