Featuring comprehensive instruction and practice with word problems that were developed with the latest standards-based teaching methods, Spectrum Enrichment Math provides examples of how the math skills students learn in school apply to everyday life with challenging, multi-step problems. Perfect as a supplement to classroom work or as a home school resource, as well as for proficiency test preparation, these workbooks are the essential source for parents and teachers to help bring math skills out of the textbook and into the student's world. Spectrum Enrichment Math Grade 5 helps young learners improve and strengthen their math skills with real-world word problems, covering topics such as: • Fractions and decimals • Metric and customary measurement • Preparing for algebra • Graphs and probability

Go beyond the regular curriculum with these units to challenge your more able intermediate grade math students. With their ease of use, clear instruction, and motivating topics, these are the perfect enrichment activities for the regular math curriculum. This book contains four units that are structured so that students can easily develop an understanding of the topics on their own. The four topics are: probability, topology, magic squares, and number characteristics. Each unit provides sequential activities that allow students to work through these motivating topics, whether they are working by themselves, in a small group, or in a whole-class setting. The units lend themselves easily to a math center arrangement with each student having an individual folder and checklist to record his or her progress. While they were designed to provide added challenge for students who have mastered the regular curriculum, some of the units can be used as supplements for whole-class instruction. The emphasis in these units is on promoting thinking, developing perseverance, expanding students' view of mathematics, enjoying a challenge, and keeping math students actively involved and enthused about math. This book will help you provide students with opportunities to explore mathematical ideas in ways that promote their intellectual growth and expand their views of mathematics. This is one of a three-book series. For younger students, see Enrichment Units in Math Book 1—attribute pattern blocks, tangrams, sets and Venn diagrams, and ancient Egyptian numbers; and Enrichment Units in Math Book 2—permutations and combinations, tessellations, line drawings, and graphing. For other math units to extend the math curriculum and provide opportunities to work independently, see Math Extension UnitsBook 1 and Book 2. Grades 5-7
