Related to Family Life
Through the use of real-life story-problem scenarios, students get plenty of practice
with analyzing the information in word problems and applying the correct math operations to solve the problems.

Family Math includes four pages of colorful, realistic images, photos, and information that describe a particular family. The corresponding word problems were designed to develop math proficiency and to help students understand why mastery of essential math skills is so important to success in the real world.

Family Descriptions include four different families: The Benson Family, Brad & Anna Miller, The Waverly Family, Max & Martha Hayes

Questions
Students are asked to use the four colorful descriptive pages for each family to find the information they need in order to solve the math word problems. When solving a problem, students may need to use the answer from another problem on the same page. Problems progress in difficulty as students work through the questions for each menu.

The first activity page introduces students to the contents of the family description pages by asking comprehension questions. Answering these questions will familiarize students with the information they will need to solve the word problems

Skills
A wide range of math skills is covered in this program. Students will solve word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as money, time, measurement, percents, decimals, and fractions. Some of the word problems are simple, one-step problems while others involve multiple steps that require students to really think about the problem.

Each activity page lists the math skills covered at the top of the page.
