This collection of 150 problems asks students to perform calculations to make a comparison and come to a decision. While the calculation-based comparison format is consistent throughout, the wide-ranging problems incorporate a variety of math concepts including ratios, fractions, percentages, proportions, 2D and 3D geometry, graphing, algebraic reasoning, patterns, probability, statistics and more. The process of analyzing and solving these problems is not only an exploration of mathematical methods, it helps establish and reinforce an approach to critical thinking that is easily transferrable and can prove extremely useful in day to day life. Which seemingly comparable pricing is the better deal? What is the fastest route to a given destination? More broadly, how can one apply reasoning and basic math to make optimal life decisions? This book helps students develop the tools and mindset with which to make such assessments with confidence and ease. Each problem is accompanied by one or more hints and a complete solution.
