Math Analogies Book 1

Description

Analogies occur in life and frequently in high-stakes tests. Understanding
analogies and the ability to reason analogically (reasoning used to identify,
evaluate, and solve an analogy) are important problem-solving skills which are
an essential part of mathematical development. The immediate benefit is to
recognize and solve simple analogies. The long-term benefits are improved
reasoning skills that enable students to break problems into their component
parts, recognize analogies embedded in arguments, and evaluate them. The 152
analogies in this 48-page book teach students to break problems down into
their component parts, making it easier to recognize familiar formats that
enable students to produce solutions. These analogies are designed around the
grade-appropriate standards identified by the National Council of Teaching
Mathematics. Read more
