Math Strategies follows the research-based NCTM standards and focuses on problem-solving strategies. Through guided instruction, students learn two approaches to solving math problems. Real-life examples involve critical thinking, showing actual student work, and models for how the problem is solved. More practice and assessment provide opportunities for students to identify and apply the best strategies for solving specific problems.
