Key Curriculum Press - Mathercise Book E - Warm-Up Exercises
Michael Serra
Grades 7–12
Mathercise: Book E
(Grades 11–12) is for students who are taking advanced
algebra, precalculus, or a third- or fourth-year high school mathematics
course. Some sketching exercises involve graphing functions, including sine
and cosine functions.
Class Starters Keep Your
Students' Skills in Shape
Each Mathercise book is a
set of 50 blackline-master "class starters" for
high school and middle school students. Use the activities with an overhead
projector, or make copies for your students, to "Mathercise" them once or
twice a week at the beginning of class. You'll keep your students in shape, on
track, and on time!
Discovering Geometry author
Michael Serra wrote the original Mathercise: Book C as warm-up
activities for his geometry students. He found the first few minutes of class
to be the perfect time to sharpen skills and provide
additional algebra practice. The original Mathercise was so
successful that he created four additional Mathercise books for
different levels.
Each Mathercise takes ten
minutes and includes one reasoning exercise, one solving exercise, one
sketching or graphing exercise, and space for a review exercise of your own
design. The solving exercises involve percentages, algebra,
equations, averages, proportions, probability, and, in Books D and E,
functions and analytic geometry.
Each 64-page book
includes teaching tips, sample problems, answer keys, and reproducible answer
sheets. Pages are perforated and three-hole punched for easy use.
