Welcome to Home & School! This is Book 2 of the Practical Math in
Context series.
The goal of this book and the other books in this series is to build your

everyday situations throughout your life.
You solve problems and make mathematical decisions every day. You
compare products and make choices about what to buy. You work to earn
money. You decide what to spend and how much to save.
Practical Math in Context gives you strategies to solve everyday math
problems in a variety of ways. It strengthens your skills and gives you
practice with many different math topics. Each of the six books presents
topics you are likely to encounter in everyday life. Each book includes
problems that involve estimation, equations, mental math, calculators,
and critical thinking. Each book includes additional topic-specific skills
such as graphing, averages, statistics, ratios, and measurement.
Each unit begins with a preview lesson, which models and explains the
types of problems you will encounter in the unit. Then there are five
lessons, at least one of which is usually a game. Each unit ends with a
review of the unit concepts. There are illustrations and graphic art
throughout.
