COINS 3 teaches students math word problem solving skills using a structured, multi-sensory approach. Students learn to read the problem, circle the relevant information, draw a picture describing the problem, and break down the problem into the following five COINS steps: Circle, Operation, Information, Number Sentence, Solution Sentence. They build self-confidence as they learn to move from language to arithmetic and back to language while effectively breaking down and solving math word problems. In this book, students practice solving word problems containing fractions, decimals, and percentages.
