So much thinking INSIDE of a box!
Meaningful opportunities for applying thinking, reasoning, and strategies:
• All mathematical strands represented.
• Focused on thinking mathematically through fractions, problem solving, number sense, computation, measurement, and geometry exercises.
• Engaging and fun for students with imaginative categories: Quick Thinkers, Speedy Starters, Brain Builders, Mental Teasers, Mind Benders, Head Sharpeners, Pace Setters, Fast Figures, Number Jugglers, Wise Workers, Super Solvers, and Grand Masters.
Easy preparation for teacher:
• Flexible implementation.
• Support and application of/with mathematical practices.
• We heard from customers across the globe how they needed extra reinforcement and
practice utilizing the fraction strand in mathematics. In responding to this feedback, we
created a fourth edition in our Think Tank series supporting the concepts of fractions,
decimals and ratios. This resource mimics the makeup of the other Think Tanks in the series
as the activities are organized into 12 sets of 20 cards that have been sequenced so that the
difficulty level increases from one set to the next. Answers for each card are separate from
the student’s card. Each box also contains a reproducible student progress chart, a pre/post
assessment card, and brief teachers’ notes.
• Reasoning about fractions builds concepts and reinforces operational skills of fractions, decimals,
and ratios.
• Available for Grades 1–6.
We grow with you as your classroom changes. We are your partner in the math community.
Teacher tested, classroom perfected.

Think Tanks provide ready-to-use opportunities for Grades 1–6 students to apply learning, foster thinking skills, and increase procedural fluency.
Students engage in problem situations requiring them to reason mathematically and quantitatively.
Think Tanks are organized into 12 imaginative sets of 20 cards in each box that increase in difficulty from one to the next for scaffolded independence. These flexible and powerful exercises are suitable for whole group, small group, or independent work in a variety of educational settings and complement any core mathematics program.
Progress can be monitored through a student-guided progress sheet or pre/post assessments. Teachers’
notes offer implementation support for fidelity of usage.
Think Tanks are available for Grades 1-6 in four distinct categories to effectively cover mathematical practices and processes:
• Thinking mathematically and problem solving enables students to develop and apply problem solving skills across five strands (number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and
statistics and probability).
• Computation and number sense develops number sense and thinking strategies for addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Measurement and geometric thinking focuses on attributes and geometric shape while practicing
core visual, spatial, and reasoning skills.
• Reasoning about fractions builds concepts and reinforces operational skills of fractions, decimals, and ratios.
Each box contains:
• 240 laminated problem cards
• reproducible student progress chart
• key problems for student portfolios
• teachers’ notes
• answer cards
