Understanding analogies and the ability to reason analogically (reasoning used to identify, evaluate, and solve an analogy) are important problem-solving skills essential to mathematical development. It is, therefore, beneficial for students to learn about analogies as soon as reasonably possible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fun 48-page, 152 activity book teaches students to break problems down into their component parts, making it easier to recognize familiar formats that enable students to produce solutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe analogies in this book are designed around grade-appropriate standards for each of the five mathematics content strands as defined by the \u003cstrong\u003eNational Council of Teachers of Mathematics\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"description_text\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"description_text\"\u003eNumber and Operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"description_text\"\u003eAlgebra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"description_text\"\u003eGeometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"description_text\"\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"description_text\"\u003eData Analysis and Probability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"description_text\"\u003eThe beauty of many of the items presented here is that they are language independent.
