By David B. Spangler. What are your chances of winning the lottery? How much interest will you end up paying on that credit card purchase? Thought-provoking real-world math problems (and some humorous ones too) require inductive and deductive reasoning as students search for a pattern, break a code, uncover and correct errors, or use clues to solve a mystery. Teacher pages set up full instructions for 27 activities driven by reproducible student handouts and correlated to NCTM standards. The workbook (sold separately) containing all the handouts allows teachers to conveniently collect a student’s work. Content is connected to Common Core State Standards. Grades 5–8. Bibliography. Answer keys with full solutions. 8½" x 11". Good Year. 199 pages.
