Ray's For Today Arithmetic Level 5 Student Text

Ray's for Today provides you with the time-tested content of the original Ray's Arithmetic series but in a format that's easier for homeschoolers to implement! This updated series is structured into daily lessons and grade levels and provides parents with additional help on presenting lessons, helping students grasp material, and adjusting the pace to your child's learning style.

Ray's for Today retains the emphasis on oral language, mental math, and math reasoning to help students build a practical understanding of underlying principles through orderly, systematic instruction. Lessons are presented in everyday language and move through three stages of exposure, practice, and mastery. Hands-on activities and visual "walk-throughs" move students' understanding from concrete real-life examples to mental images and finally to abstract concepts. Real-life problem solving and story problems are also integrated throughout the text. Each level targets three to four essential skills, which are then reviewed and built upon in subsequent levels.

This Student Text features lessons that are written directly to the student along with a worked example and questions to answer. Review practice exercises are also integrated throughout.
