About this book
1,616 story problems in 81 practice sets, and twenty different shapes of story.
Most word-problem workbooks ask one question over and over: somebody has some, gets some more, how many now. A child who only ever meets that one learns to add two numbers and stop reading. This book asks all twenty shapes the standards actually name — the whole and a part, what changed, what was there at the start, more than and fewer than, equal groups, rows and columns, how big is a share, how many shares, times as many and the other way round, two steps, three steps, one story with three questions, a story with a number you do not need, and a story missing a fact nobody gave you.
And three pages that are not sentences at all: a table, a scaled bar graph and a pictograph, each with questions to answer from it. Reading a number off a picture is a word problem too, and it is the one most workbooks at this price leave out.
Room to work. Density stays at twenty a page, in small lettered blocks worth 100 points together, because the working is the point and the shelf's commonest complaint is a page with nowhere to do it.
Two pages to come back to. Read. Plan. Solve. Check. is worked once in all four moves, and The Shapes of a Story lists every shape with the sentence that gives it away and the move it asks for.
An answer key you can trust, by construction. Every one of the 1,616 answers was computed from the exact numbers its own story prints, then re-solved by a separate program reading the printed page — never a template mismatch, never a story whose numbers do not add up.
