Challenging Word Problems for Primary Mathematics 6

Challenging Word Problems provides ample practice for students of mixed abilities, but is especially recommended for the most capable math students as a source of challenging word problems. This series supplements Primary Mathematics U.S. and Standards Editions, but can be used with any math curriculum as long as students have the necessary computation skills. It is applicable to both home and classroom use. 

Problems can be selected for a daily challenge or for discussion, or students can attempt the problems independently. Do not expect even the most capable students to be able to answer all the problems without assistance. Though solutions are provided, a specific strategy is not required, and alternate methods are quite possible to arrive at the answer. Challenging Word Problems is a good source of problems in which students can practice explaining their reasoning or demonstrate their problem-solving abilities.
