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 Problem Solving and Reasoning in Grade 5
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Curriculum planning
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Problem solving and reasoning are students' processes of actively applying what they know to new problems from diverse areas of mathematics. Knowing a variety of mathematical ideas is insufficient unless students can draw on, integrate and use them to solve challenging, complex problems. The Navigating through Problem Solving and Reasoning books for grades 3-6 present hands-on investigations that nurture reasoning and problem-solving strategies in each of the upper elementary grades. In investigations for grade 5, children reason about place value and divisibility by making a PIN for a security system, explore rates of change by projecting sales at a new pet shop and determine the best month for a ski trip by analysing snowfall data. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas-number, algebra, geometry, measurement and data analysis. As they work, they infer, generalise, reason by analogy, recognise relationships and make representations and they also predict, check and revise and verify their results. The Navigations series translates Principles and Standards for School Mathematics into action.Each book includes practical, teacher-tested activities and a supplemental CD-ROM that features applets for students' use and resources for teachers' professional development.

Good Questions
Author: Marian Small
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807779229
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Now in its Fourth Edition—with more than 50 new questions and a new chapter on financial literacy—this bestselling resource helps experienced and novice teachers to effectively and efficiently differentiate mathematics instruction in grades K–8. Math education expert Marian Small shows teachers how to get started and become expert at using two powerful and universal strategies: Open Questions and Parallel Tasks. This edition is even easier for teachers to use in all quality state standards environments, including direct links to content standards and standards for mathematical practice. Parallel tasks and question examples are provided at each grade band: K–2, 3–5, and 6–8. Along with each example, the text describes how teachers can evoke productive conversations that meet the needs of a broad range of learners. “A must-read for every preservice and inservice teacher.” —Carole Greenes, professor emerita, Arizona State University “Small addresses the topic of open questions in a very accessible way. I look forward to using this book the next time I teach Elementary Math Methods to teacher candidates.” —Felicia Darling, math instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College
