Purchase options and add-ons

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.

The content of the book is good. I gave 2 stars to the seller because the book was described as was gently used and in good condition. However, it was written on most of the book. It is a math book. It is useless once answers were written on it.

    The questions are more difficult then kids learned from school in general. But the questions are good to promote math thinking and reasoning.
