On Core Mathematics Grade 5 Bundle. Common Core Standards are the new standards that are being adopted by all states and address standards for both content and practice. This math series is written to supplement your math curriculum to ensure that your student meets the standards for math. The Common Core Standards for practice cover 8 different areas – make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, model with mathematics, use appropriate tools strategically, attend to precision, look for and make use of structure, and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. The content standards for K-6 are counting & cardinality, operations & algebraic thinking, number & operations in base 10, measurement & data, geometry, number & operations in fractions, ratios & proportional relationships, number systems, expressions & equations, and statistics & probability. Each grade-level bundle includes a Student Workbook and a Teacher's Edition. The Student Workbook is black and white and each lesson is two pages in length. Each lesson begins with an explanation and model of the concept and is followed by practice for that concept. Students learn to be reflective thinkers through follow-up questions. The Reflect questions challenge students to really think about the mathematics they have just encountered and to share their understanding. Special features near the end of the units focus on problem-solving and help students apply the concepts and skills they have learned to real-world situations. Included Teacher's Edition contains lesson background for all Common Core topics, and offers teacher support for all lessons, background for each lesson, questioning strategies, and suggestions for differentiation. Common Core Standards for each lesson are noted, small format student pages are included with answers along with objectives, essential questions, vocabulary, materials list, and prerequisites to that particular lesson or topic.

Mathematics and science can be thought of as a search for patterns and structure. This 96-page book provides rich and diverse collections of pattern problems for students to explore, investigate, discover, and create. The five different types of pattern problems found in this book are: •Pattern Predictor •Equality Explorer •Sequence Sleuth •Number Ninja •Function Finder There are optional hints and detailed solutions. From a developmental perspective, the ability to recognize a pattern signals the transition from concrete to abstract thinking. So having students explore pattern problems helps sensitize them to the discovery process that provides a foundation for authentic learning and abstraction. These activities are independent and self-contained, but tend to build on one another and get gradually more sophisticated. This collection deliberately avoids use of variables, but involves reasoning that lays a genuine foundation for algebraic thinking and technique. Calculators are never needed, and their use is discouraged. Grades 5-7. From The Critical Thinking Company Learn More

The perfect way to begin your students’ school day! Cross-curricular daily practice gets your first grade students focused and engaged—and ready to learn. The daily lessons provide practice of language, math, and reading skills that support your core curriculum. The meaningful 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice helps sharpen students’ skills and helps you see where your students need to improve. With a detailed scope and sequence, you will always know the skills that your students are practicing. Daily Fundamentals lessons are ideal for morning work, bell ringers, homework, and informal assessment. The daily practice and review prepares students for success on assessments and state testing. How it works: • Monday–Friday: Full-page daily activities provide practice of grade-level language, math, and reading skills, focusing on one skill in each subject area. • The daily lessons progress in difficulty as students move through Day 1 to Day 5, and the weekly units progress in difficulty throughout the year. The 30 weeks of first grade skill practice covers: • Language: grammar, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary • Math: operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base 10, measurement and data, time, money, and geometry • Reading: main idea and details, sequence, fantasy and reality, fact or opinion, character, author’s purpose, and compare and contrast Daily activities often include open-ended questions that require higher-order thinking skills. These types of questions can be used to promote peer-to-peer discussions as students share and discuss answers, while also fostering critical thinking skills. 200 pages. From Evan-Moor. Learn More

This collection of 150 problems asks students in Grades 4 and 5 to perform calculations to make a comparison and come to a decision. The Dare to Compare format recasts more traditional math problems from a single calculation to two or more calculations to come to a final conclusion. Rather than compute a single sale price, the student computes two sale prices to determine which sale is a better deal. Instead of calculating the number of fat calories in a single food item, the student calculates the number of fat calories in two separate food items to determine which has the least amount of fat calories. The problems are intended to be non-routine but accessible. The solution process is open-ended, allowing students to create mathematical reasoning and to decide how to quantify in order to formulate a conclusion. Comparisons are especially suited for problems involving fractions, rates, ratios, and proportional thinking. However, they can serve as a backdrop for any mathematical topic – geometry, graphing, patterns, elementary algebraic reasoning, probability, counting, measurement, number operations, and logic. So the comparisons are rich in both mathematical content and critical thinking. Each problem is accompanied by one or more hints and a complete solution. Which fence is longer? Whose heart beats faster? Which food is less expensive? Who travels the furthest? Which collection of coins is worth more? Which shape has a larger area? Which sale is a better deal? Which fraction is larger? Which jar holds more water when full? Which food has less fat calories? Who makes the greater profit? Which event lasted longer? Comparisons provide a motivating backdrop to perform mathematical calculations in a wide range of contexts. Grades 4-5. From The Critical Thinking Company. Learn More

This collection of 150 problems asks students in Grades 6 and 7 to perform calculations to make a comparison and come to a decision. The Dare to Compare format recasts more traditional math problems from a single calculation to two or more calculations to come to a final conclusion. Rather than compute the unit price of a single food item, the student computes the unit price of two food items to determine which item is a better deal. Instead of calculating the probability of a single event, the student calculates the probability of two events to determine which is more likely. The problems are intended to be non-routine but accessible. The solution process is open-ended, allowing students to create mathematical reasoning and to decide how to quantify in order to formulate a conclusion. Comparisons are especially suited for problems involving rates, ratios, fractions, percentages, and proportions. However, they can serve as a backdrop for any mathematical topic–2D and 3D geometry, graphing, algebraic reasoning, patterns, probability, statistics, counting, measurement, number operations, and logic. So the comparisons are rich in both mathematical content and critical thinking. Each problem is accompanied by one or more hints and a complete solution. Who is running faster? Which shape has a larger area? Which sale is a better deal? Which country has a greater population density? Which food item has more fat calories? Who earns more dollars per hour? Which fraction is larger? Which product has a smaller unit price? Which object has a greater density? Which outcome is more likely? Which competitive eater consumes more calories per minute? Comparisons provide a motivating backdrop to perform mathematical calculations in a wide range of contexts. Learn More
