In this book, students learn to see patterns in math word problems, then compute with decimals, fractions, compare rates, and solve proportions. Then using everyday examples, they explore statistics and probabilities, and learn how math can actually predict future outcomes and events.
Other areas of practical math are examined, with a final chapter that searches out problems and activities that can be found on the World Wide Web. This textbook supplement is designed especially for classroom use by middle primary to high school children.
