Students often get impatient with the explanations and have difficulty knowing how to proceed to work the problems.

The rules, visual manipulatives, and the problems themselves are designed to strengthen mathematical reasoning. Additional concepts include: substitution with integers, negative one as a sign switcher, integer multiplication\/division, fact families with integers, basic inequalities, multiplication with negative fractions, negative numbers with exponents, and absolute value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcept Quizzes\u003c\/strong\u003e are used throughout to test\/review students' conceptual knowledge of integers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMathWise workbooks are unique in that they give \u003cstrong\u003einteractive instruction\u003c\/strong\u003e as students are working on math problems. \u003cstrong\u003eSpeech bubbles\u003c\/strong\u003e give insights, hints, and observations in measured doses-not all at once, so that students don't lose attention or get overloaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnswer frames\u003c\/strong\u003e foster good technique-they ensure that students solve problems in steps and show their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber sense\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esound mathematical thinking\u003c\/strong\u003e are emphasized throughout.

He has coached math teams and taught hundreds of students in before- and after-school math clubs. The students he teaches typically make 2-3 years' growth in math in one year. His teaching techniques have been featured in newspaper reports and recognized on tv. He is a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and was nominated for Teacher of the Year in California and Colorado. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis own two children (who helped him with the MathWise books) competed successfully in state and national math competitions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA resident of Colorado, he also enjoys music, chess, and hiking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 11.02 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47748930109689,"sku":"9780997283525","price":14.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/YaDa9MHjC09780997283525.webp?v=1775548106","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/mathwise-integers-with-answer-key-skill-set-enrichment-and-practice-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
