Most students use a math book to do their assignments. But rarely do students READ a math book. But some people do use math books for other reasons. Like looking at examples, for reference or (heaven forbid) to teach themselves. Regardless of why you open a math book, knowing a bit about it can be helpful. This small packet has discussion questions along with a mini-poster of the parts of a math book. For more info, check out this post on How to Read a Math Book on MathFour.com.

Students struggle with comparing their work to an example. This activity helps them learn to dig into solutions and compare them - seeing where there are commonalities and where there are differences. (Note, they don't have to know anything about algebra to do this - it's merely a comparing exercise.) Give it a try and let me know how it can improve. I'm deploying this today! ~Bon
