Ideal for classroom use, this companion to the teachers' textbook of the
same name is geared toward African American students who have difficulty
with math. The culturally relevant word problems aim to raise the racial
achievement gap in mathematics by instilling confidence in struggling
black students and to teach math in a less sterile, theoretical way. By
invoking critical thinking skills, the workbook presents an essential
understanding to basic math functions that can revolutionize a child's
ability to progress through upper grades.
