Synopsis

AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.

PRACTICE: This is a practice workbook geared toward practicing problem-solving skills. As such, it consists of worksheets with practice problems in the spirit of old-fashioned practice sheets. This is suitable for students who need to practice basic skills, and is effective for many students. It is not one of the modern math textbooks that are designed to entertain bored students.

EXAMPLES: A section on basic fraction skills provides a few pages of notes regarding useful fraction skills, including concise instructions for how to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number and vice-versa, as well as how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions, followed by a couple of examples to serve as a guide.

ANSWERS: An answer section at the back provides a complete answer key. It’s important for students to practice solving problems correctly, otherwise they will practice their mistakes. Students, parents, or teachers should use the answer key to help students check their answers.

CONTENTS: This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing mixed fractions by offering ample practice. This book is conveniently divided up into four parts – one for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division – such that students can focus on one arithmetic operation at a time. An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook. A multiplication table is provided to help students who are just learning their multiplication facts.

PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.
