Understanding Math Story Problems
Second Edition
Martha McGlothlin
This workbook teaches students how to use language to comprehend and solve math story problems and to apply these principles to everyday use. It can be used individually or in groups and includes suggestions for both teachers and parents. Key vocabulary words and phrases are presented as clues to guide students in selecting the calculations to use to solve story problems. This is especially helpful for students who may be able to perform the calculations but who cannot always interpret the language in the story problems. The problems are controlled for vocabulary, sentence length, and complexity according to reading level. A pretest identifies students who are unable to perform the calculations required in the story problems.

The Time Is Now
Elizabeth Foster
The Time Is Now is a compilation of four workbooks, now available as reproducible pages on CD, that concentrate on the numeral time (e.g., 1:30 and 2:15), rather than on phrases such as half-past and quarter past, because the numeral system is most often used in print and digital clocks. The highly visual workbooks progress from the simplest to the most complex, with constant review of previous lessons. The books are designed for students to work at their own pace.
