The activities included on the CD-ROM are perfect for
daily problem solving practice or as a warm-up activity to
get students ready for math lessons.
They are also an ideal way to teach students test-taking
skills and prepare them for standardized tests. The questions are written in a common test format, and the first
activity in each category features a simple explanation of

You can also install the program on a computer in your
computer center to allow students to work on the activities
independently or in small groups. Make sure that students
understand how to use the program before letting them
work on their own. Provide students with writing materials
and paper, so that they are able to work out the problems
to find the answers.
