Book excerpt: Finish Line Mathematics, Third Edition is the extra boost students need to reinforce skills and master Common Core-based standards. Finish Line supplements your core basal program with instruction and practice that are concise and simply presented. The workbook is divided into units that parallel the domains in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) at grade level. Lessons indicate connections to prior knowledge and integrate the Standards for Mathematical Practice. The first unit reviews big ideas from the previous grade with four-to-five topics that are key to new concepts in the current grade. This feature allows students to refresh their skills in these areas before building on them to learn new ideas. Finish Line uses the gradual release model--from teacher-led instruction to individual student work--in a four-part lesson format: Skill Introduction, Focused Instruction, Guided Practice, and Independent Practice. Units conclude with a review, which covers all skills in the unit. The review includes a mix of item types, including those found on Common Core-based assessments. A glossary features terms that appear in boldface throughout the book. Flashcards are provided for students to practice important ideas, formulas, and symbols from the book.
