Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 3-5


Book Description

The geometric principles of shape, location, transformations, and spatial visualization are the focus of this book. The supplemental CD-ROM features applets for students' use and resources for teacher's professional development. Prekindergarten-grade 5.




Navigating Through Measurement in Grades 3-5


Book Description

Follows students' natural progression from measuring with informal or non-standard units to using standard units to measure such attributes as length, weight, angle and temperature. Activities extend students' learning to the measurement of two-and three-dimensional objects. Students work in a variety of lively real-world contexts, gathering measurement benchmarks in a classroom scavenger hunt and investigating the area of a rectangle while acting as owners of a sticker factory, for example.




Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 9-12


Book Description

Approaching geometry through a transformational lens, this book concentrates on topics such as the use of transformations, coordinates and matrices and congruence and similarity. Activities that take students through geometric tasks require some use of technology, including interactive geometry software and a calculator or a computer with software that produces geometric images and graphs. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.




Navigating Through Number and Operations in Grades 3-5


Book Description

In grades 3-5, students extend their understanding of place value, larger whole numbers, fractions and decimals. They develop an understanding of multiplication and division, mastering and applying basic facts. Concrete materials can help students represent and reinforce these important concepts. Activities in this book invite students to use fraction circles to compare fractions and dot arrays to explore multiplication and the distributive property.




How to Succeed in Geometry, Grades 3-5


Book Description

Give students that extra boost they need to acquire important concepts in specific areas of math. The goal of these How to books is to provide the information and practice necessary to master the math skills established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Each book is divided into units containing concepts, rules, terms, and formulas, followed by corresponding practice pages.




Focus in Grades 3-5


Book Description

This is part of a series that shows teachers how to incorporate NCTM's Curriculum Focal Points for PreK-8 into their current mathematics curricula. The book provides practical ideas, sample student work and a sample state math curricula organised around the focal points. By focusing more intensely on fewer topics at each grade level, students gain a deeper understanding of mathematical ideas.




The Facts on File Geometry Handbook


Book Description

Contains a history of the subject of geometry, including more than 3,000 entries providing definitions and explanations of related topics, plus brief biographies of over 300 scientists.




Navigating Through Problem Solving and Reasoning in Grade 3


Book Description

Students reason about place value by making and using pedometers, understand related changes in two quantities by exploring parade formations for thirty-six marchers, and analyze data by devising rules for earning reading certificates.
