Math at School

Math at School--It's Everyplace You Are makes school curriculum come alive. Engaging, hands-on activities help students see the connection between math concepts and their own experiences. The activities are relevant to students' daily lives, drawing on locations, sounds, and materials that appear in or around familiar surroundings. This book includes six units to provide a variety of math experiences. Students will explore math at school in the classroom, lunchroom, library, on the way to school, and in other locations at school. Each unit includes reading comprehension exercises, hands-on activities, and written exercises or patterns. This book has been designed to meet National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. Activities emphasize key math vocabulary, concepts, and process skills. Students are encouraged to share their answers and compare their methods and strategies. The activities incorporate reading comprehension with math skills such as number concepts, computation, patterning, geometry, problem solving, and data analysis. Plus, each unit provides hands-on learning through cutting, coloring, mazes, and more.Carson-Dellosa Publishing Staff is the author of 'Math at School', published 2003 under ISBN 9780768225358 and ISBN 0768225353.
