Challenging Word Problems is a series of six books, specially written to supplement Singapore's Primary Mathematics textbooks for use in the USA. This Primary Mathematics series has been updated to align with the Common Core State Standards for mathematics.

With extensive graded questions for students of mixed abilities as well as higher-order questions for better math students, these topical problem-solving books serve to enhance students' mathematical reasoning and bolster their confidence.

Each book in the series features the following:
* Graded Worked Examples
* Practice Questions
* Challenging Problems
* Review Questions
* Worked Solutions to All Questions

Through regular practice and review, the Primary Mathematics (Common Core Edition) Challenging Word Problems series serves to build a solid foundation in elementary mathematics and boost students' creative and critical problem-solving skills.

Challenging Word Problems, distributed by Singaporemath.com, is a wallet-friendly math series that equips elementary math students, teachers, and parents with the mathematical problem-solving skills needed to solve brain-unfriendly math questions, which are often used to separate the nerd from the herd, or which appear in school exams and math contests.

Review

The Challenging Word Problems series is recommended as a source of challenging problems for capable students and complements the Primary Mathematics series. They can also be used with any math curriculum, as long as the students have the necessary computation skills. Problems can be selected from it for a daily challenge for the class discussion, or capable students can attempt the problems independently. Do not expect even capable students to be able to answer all the problems without any assistance. Students will have to apply a variety of problem solving strategies, including using concrete manipulatives as needed. Though solutions are provided at the back, a specific strategy is not required, and alternate methods are quite possible to arrive at the answer. They are a good source of problems where students can practice explaining their reasoning or demonstrate their problem-solving abilities. --SingaporeMath.com
