This resource includes 50 black-line masters plus teaching tips, sample problems, answer keys, and reproducible answer sheets. Mathercise™ takes 10 - 15 minutes and includes one reasoning exercise, one solving exercise, one sketching or graphing exercise, and space for a review exercise of your own design. The solving exercises involve percentages, algebra, equations, averages, proportions, probability, and, in Books D and E, functions and analytic geometry. The first few minutes of class is the perfect time to sharpen skills and provide additional practice. Use the activities with a projector, or make copies for your students.
Discovering Geometry® author Michael Serra wrote the original Mathercise™ Book C as warm-up activities for his geometry students. The original Mathercise™ was so successful, he created Mathercise™ Books A, B, D, E .
