Great Test Prep
I love, love, love this book and highly recommend it to fourth grade teachers everywhere. Parents, you, too, might want this for your child. It keeps those basic skills in the forefront. I use it for morning work, The students love it because it is only ten problems (just enough) for a daily dose of mindful math. The repetition of skills and vocabulary ensures that students will not soon forget tested material in this fast-paced learning environment where skills are presented once and it's "move on." I used this with my class last year. I had a third of my class score "advanced" on the MCAS state testing. I did not use the timing feature, but it would be a good way to differentiate for the higher level students. My coworkers want to borrow it, so i am purchasing copies for them.
