Functional/"real world" math book/curriculum


Recommended Posts

Hi, anyone have a functional math skills book or curriculum that you like? I want something for a group of students in 6/7th grade that are working at a 3rd/4th grade level in math. I need something that's going to help them connect the ideas they're learning in math to actual experiences (cooking, creating, etc). 

I found this book that looks okay, and others in the series.

Thanks!

AGS Life Skills Math may suit; it is out of print, but can be found on the used market (amazon, abe books, etc.)

You can see inside the book over at archive.org... https://archive.org/details/agslifeskillsmat0000jaco/mode/2up

Wieser Educational may have something as well...

Thanks! I don't know why I've never bought them before. They look pretty awesome.

They're a staple in one of our local education stores. They have books for LA too, all great stuff.
