Kumon STEM Missions Workbooks offer students a fun way to practice interdisciplinary topics by combining science, technology, engineering, and math questions in order to strengthen problem-solving skills. In this workbook, your child will complete several STEM "missions" designed to increase his or her critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Each mission asks your child to read science passages, answer questions about the passages, solve math problems, and use the knowledge gained to create or design a solution (engineering) to a real word problem. Featuring Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science topics, these workbooks are sure to get your child interested in the connection between what he or she learns and how it can be applied to the real world.
