 Linking the Literature
New for 2010 !
Available: Grades K-6
These 112 page instructional resource guides will empower each math teacher with ideas and recording sheets for a full scope of math literature per grade level. For each of the 20+ books aligned to national standards, there will be a synopsis of the story, key academic vocabulary, discourse questions for discussion or journal writing, and a couple of ready-to-implement "hands-on" learning activities based on the math concept presented in each lesson. This integrated approach using authentic books that stimulate and activate students' thinking processes is very engaging, and highly interactive. Now students will gain a better understanding of the math, and teachers will have a practical supplement at their fingertips that is research based.
These 8.5 x 11 Linking the Literature books (© Mainstay Math LLC) are available for $19.99 each.
