A clear need exists for substantial improvement in mathematics proficiency in U.S. schools. The RAND Mathematics Study Panel was convened to inform the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement on ways to improve the quality and usability of education research and development (R&D). The panel identified three areas for focused R&D: development of teachers' mathematical knowledge used in teaching; teaching and learning of skills needed for mathematical thinking and problem-solving; and teaching and learning of algebra from kindergarten through the 12th grade.

Un racconto che commuove e toglie il fiato anche agli stomaci forti, opponendo al bullismo e alla forza bruta di due ragazzi stupidi e crudeli il riscatto della loro vittima. Peter Watson, adolescente disarmato e apparentemente più debole, sopravvivrà alla ferocia di due piccoli criminali perché è dotato di intelligenza e di insospettata forza d’animo che gli permetteranno perfino di volare lontano con le ali di un cigno... Il testo, in lingua originale, è arricchito da: • Glossari con la traduzione delle parole più interessanti o difficili; • Note su strutture della lingua, forme idiomatiche o familiari, registri espressivi, phrasal verbs...; • Reading Comprehension Exercises.
