The Monster Math series features grade-specific math practice workbooks with a really fun theme––monsters! The activities in each book cover important mathematical skills and support NCTM standards. The artwork on the pages––which includes fuzzy, funny-looking, goofy, endearing monsters––engages students' attention and holds their interest. Each book includes "Monster Math Drills," which are post-test activities that challenge students to solve problems and recap what they have learned.

This series for middle school students reading below grade level incorporates engaging articles and writing exercises designed to stimulate and hold the interest of all students. Lower reading levels are achieved through the application of controlled vocabulary, simple sentence structure, and clear directions. Students practice writing personal narratives, persuasive letters, and expository pieces with a research component. Within each activity, students are exposed to grammar lessons, graphic organizers, technology tips, and opportunities for revision, evaluation and publishing.

The NCTM standards-based, reproducible activities in this resource are designed to help your students master a new approach to attacking math problems while reinforcing essential basic skills that comprise the core of any math curriculum. Students learn to F.O.C.U.S. (Find what?, Organize, Choose a strategy and solve, Understandable?, Summarize) which helps to break down problems into manageable pieces and solve them. The content is divided into five areas including Number and Operations, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, and Data Analysis and Probability. Analytical thinking and progressive exercises are provided along with critical-response questions, a F.O.C.U.S. poster, assessments, and an answer key.
