Sample Word Problems

This is our most important feature: below are 3 samples of word problems offered. See if you think your children could answer them (or ask them). The first is from True/False Level a (easiest). The second is from True/False Level b (intermediate) and the third is from Multiple Choice Level c (hardest). There are 900 of these problems (300 on each level) that you may PRINT (Math Maker) or SOLVE on screen (Math User).

(Level a) The girl had 5 nickels and 2 dimes in her pocket. She counted the money and said there was less than 50 cents.
True or False?

(Level b) If you can go 32 miles on 1 gallon of gas then you need more that 3 gallons to go 100 miles.
True or False?

(Level c) I saved 50% of my weekly pay of $120 for 5 weeks. I saved how much money in that time period?
(1) $360 (2) $300 (3) neither

Perfect for REVIEW and STANDARDIZED TEST PREP.
Use Test Maker to create activities for all subjects: history, geography, science, foreign language etc.
TRUE/FALSE MATH CHALLENGER is new. It presents 7 motivational activities for math fact mastery.
Student is presented with math "facts" that are either True or False and must choose properly.
Example: 6 x 9 = 54 (TRUE) --- 8 x 7 = 57 (FALSE).
Maximum time on task results in rapid fact mastery using activities that present challenges to overcome.
All scores are retained and presented on screen and on paper.
