Build your students' confidence and enhance the math skills they use in everyday situations! Each of the six books in the Practical Math in Context presents topics students are likely to encounter in everyday life. Mastery of practical math skills is the overarching goal of the series.

Each book includes problems that involve estimation, equations, mental math, calculators, and critical thinking. Each book includes additional concept-specific skills such as graphing, averages, statistics, ratios, and measurement. The series is appropriate for use with small groups, a full class, or by independent learners. The lessons are self-explanatory, freeing the teacher for individual instruction.
