Try It! Math Problems for All: Student Workbook

This is not your typical math book. Breaking away from the standard drill and practice routine, Try It! Math Problems for All is a collection of offbeat, open-ended math problems designed to make even the most math-averse student excited about working through these challenging yet accessible problems.

Each set of student texts includes ten student work booklets featuring 25 illustrated problems that vary in difficulty, motivating students to think creatively on their own, or to engage in teamwork and cooperation within a group. With plenty of space for student responses and notes, these work booklets will make it quicker and easier to review student work and provide feedback.
