Third, fourth, and fifth graders are expected to know more
than 200 mathematical concepts and skills by the end of
the year. More than 200! In this age of high-stakes testing,
teachers can’t afford to wait a month before the test to
start reviewing the year’s material—there’s simply too
much.
America Math Lone Star Edition™ starts your review in the
fall, long before the test in the spring. Each page is packed
with a variety of skill, numeracy, and word problems. The
problems are simple at first, but gradually spiral upward in
depth and complexity. After just three weeks, you’ll be
amazed at your students’ confidence and proficiency.
Our warm-up isn’t just a review, though. It’s a preview as
well. Whether it’s geometry, fractions, or probability, your
students will have received a healthy exposure to the
concepts and skills long before your math units in the
spring. This inevitably allows you to go deeper into the
concepts when the time arrives because your students will
have been practicing the fundamentals weeks before!
