This Power Practice series reinforces the specific math and language arts skills that students must master in order to experience success on standardized tests. Each book explores one or two concepts in depth by presenting them in a logical, sequenced progression of smaller objectives.

The activity pages in Applying Problem-Solving Strategies 5-6 provide students with multiple strategies to solve word problems. The different problem-solving strategies, with step-by-step instructions, include the following:

• use data from a chart
• use a guess and check strategy
• look for a pattern
• draw a picture
• identify multiple-answer problems
• estimate
• find assumed steps
• use logic squares

Use these ready-to-go activities to "recharge" skill review and give students the power to succeed.
