Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps Students Can Understand!

I am a high school special education/alternative education teacher in Oregon, working with special needs youngsters. Contemporary's "Number Power 5: Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps" by Bob Mitchell gives the clear instruction and practice necessary for students to obtain the relevant information from graphs, tables, schedules and maps. The book is an excellent resource for students as a basic life skill or as preparation for the GED and SAT tests. An invaluable resource!

"Number Power 5: Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps" uses relevant and real life applications and examples that students will find engaging. The pages in this worksheet format booklet are laid out clearly, very clearly, and are easy for the student to negotiate.

"Number Power 5: Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps" gives the student plenty and frequent opportunity for them to check their understanding. This is one of the strengths that sets "Number Power 5: Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps" apart from other textbooks. Here, students don't have to suffer through pages and pages of instruction before their comprehension is tested. Students will find the book engaging, trust me.

I recommend "Number Power 5: Graphs, Tables, Schedules and Maps" without reservation! A great bargain for the price.

As with the other books in this series by Contempoary Books, Book #5 gets right to the point to help struggling students in extracting information and interpreting graphs, schedules, tables, etc. An excellent resource for Special Education or competency education programs. Well worth the money.

If you teach Adult Basic Education then just buy all the Number Power books. As your students start approaching GED level, you can add exercises from Steck Vaughn Pre-GED and GED Math. I teach GED in NYC and I have a fantastic success rate getting students to pass the GED exam FIRST TIME OUT, by teaching Math with the Number Power series!

I have am attending college and I have purchased several of the workbooks and they have been very helpful in assisting me in reviewing my math skills. The layout is easy to follow and the sample problems has help to reinforce the lessons. I have shared the authors books with my daughter who is a math teacher for 6th graders and she has used the series to assist with teaching her students.
