Making connections becomes increasingly important as students proceed through middle school and high school. This book shows ways of embedding connective processes in instruction in grades 6-8. Activities invite students to connect ideas of number, algebra, geometry, measurement and data analysis. Students discover the usefulness of mathematical modelling by solving problems in a variety of applied settings, such as crime-scene forensics and estimations of wildlife populations. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.

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.

Shows teachers how they can incorporate the Curriculum Focal Points for PreK-8 into their current mathematics curricula. The book provides practical ideas, sample student work and sample state math curriculum organised around the Focal Points. This volume will help teachers think about what a focused curriculum means and how they might begin to build focus into their existing curriculum.

Children in prekindergarten focus on counting and gradually master the essential one-to-one matching of an object to a number. By the end of second grade, they can represent one, two and three digit numbers, understand simple fractions and apply a variety of facts and strategies to add and subtract skilfully. This book supports this progression by inviting students to count and order ducklings in a line, compute the total cost of several items on a menu and play a variety of games that reinforce their understanding of number, addition and subtraction.

Helping students develop an understanding of important mathematical ideas is a persistent challenge for teachers. In this book, one of a three-volume set, well-known mathematics educators Margaret Smith, Edward A. Silver, and Mary Kay Stein provide teachers of mathematics the support they need to improve their instruction. They focus on ways to engage upper elementary, middle school, and high school students in thinking, reasoning, and problem solving to build their mathematics understanding and proficiency. The content focus of Volume One is rational numbers and proportionality. Using materials that were developed under the NSF-funded COMET (Cases of Mathematics to Enhance Teaching) program, each volume in the set features cases from urban, middle school classrooms with ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse student populations. Each case illustrates an instructional episode in the classroom of a teacher who is implementing standards-based instruction, the teachers' perspective, including their thoughts and actions as they interact with students and with key aspects of mathematical content, cognitively challenging mathematics activities that are built around samples of authentic classroom practice., and facilitation chapters to help professional developers "teach" the cases, including specific guidelines for facilitating discussions and suggestions for connecting the ideas presented in the cases to a teacher's own practice. As a complete set, this resource provides a basis on which to build a comprehensive professional development program to improve mathematics instruction and student learning.
