About this title

Synopsis

The UCSMP Third Edition curriculum emphasizes problem solving, everyday applications, and the use of technology and reading, while developing and maintaining basic skills. UCSMP Pre-Transition Mathematics is intended primarily for students who are ready for a 6th-grade curriculum. It articulates well with Grade 5 of Everyday Mathematics, Transition Mathematics, and Algebra. Pre-Transition Mathematics reflects the practice of identifying and working on uses of numbers and operations that characterized the Second Edition of Transition Mathematics. Fractions and percents are particularly emphasized.There is also a major emphasis on dealing with data and geometry. Algebra is integrated throughout the text as a way of describing generalizations, as a language for formulas, and as an aid in solving simple equations. The text is characterized by rich problems throughout. Learn more about this program by clicking on the E-Sampler, here.
