This 176-page book uses fifteen lessons to teach 150 words that fourth and fifth grade students should know for reading, writing, and standardized tests. Each lesson includes a story involving elementary school students that introduces language arts concepts such as homonyms, homophones, homographs, key words, antonyms, hyperbole, fables, myths, folk tales, and speech writing. Additional stories focus on the branches of government and the constitution, scientific method and formulating a hypothesis, and the Revolutionary War. Each lesson contains definitions, pronunciation keys, parts of speech, and alternate choices for each word made up of synonyms, idioms, and/or phrases. Students complete a variety of exercises requiring critical reading and writing skills to contextualize the words. The exercises use other forms of the words as different parts of speech, so that students learn to recognize these forms as variations of the original words—further expanding their vocabulary and enabling them to use the words in more contexts. This book emphasizes the correct spelling of the vocabulary words with a Jumble activity that ask students to unscramble the word before writing the correct spelling to match the definition. Whether used in the traditional classroom, as a homeschooling resource, or for independent study, Vocabulary Virtuoso: Elementary Vocabulary for Academic Success is a highly effective and fun vocabulary resource! Elementary Level - 150 Vocabulary Words and These Concepts: homonyms, homophones, homographs, hypothesis, key words, antonyms, hyperbole, fables, myths, folk tales, essay and speech writing.

The Mechanical Aquarium from Ugears is an ingenious saltwater fishbowl, with two pet tropical fish chasing each other around a forest of macroalgae fronds, inside of which hides another small inhabitant of the marine environment—a seahorse! The beauty, variety, and intrigue of saltwater fish-keeping make it one of the world's most popular hobbies. Perhaps you are a snorkeling or diving enthusiast and would like to be reminded of underwater adventures when you've dived a colorful reef or explored a kelp forest. Building Ugears' charming and unique wooden models, brainteasers, and 3D puzzles has become a popular hobby for thousands of people in 85 countries across five continents. Now you can combine these hobbies in a single model!

The Mechanical Aquarium has 325 pieces, is rated "Medium" level, and has an estimated assembly time of 6 hours. As you build the wooden aquarium, you will learn about the action and interplay of drive gears and driven gears in gear sets, the function of pendulums, and spring-action mechanisms. You will experience the satisfaction of building something beautiful with your own hands, without the need for glue or special tools. Everything you need for this fun DIY mechanical fish tank comes right in the box: high-quality plywood boards with precision laser-cut pieces that you snap out then snap together, the metal spring that powers the mechanism, and of course, a set of detailed, illustrated instructions in 11 languages.

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

Spark the interest of even the most indifferent math student! There are 20 games in the Grades 3-5 book. The games build number sense, operational fluency, problem-solving strategies and give teachers and parents an alternative method to assess student performance and understanding. The math concepts and skills covered in each game are listed under each game, so teachers can select the appropriate games for the curriculum they are teaching. Most of the games require only pencil, paper, and a pair of dice or a spinner. Each game has been classroom-tested numerous times and comes with clear, concise instructions and all reproducible master sheets necessary for playing. Instructions include a simple way to play a less challenging variation of the game or a more challenging variation. Instructions also include questions for further discovery, as well as, technology tips and teacher-management tips. These games are also very helpful assessment tools since students love the games and are not reluctant to ask for help, because it improves their chances of winning the game. It is also common to hear students discuss and share their strategies with their peers. A study of the latest educational research has corroborated that there are a myriad of ways that games help children become proficient math learners. Grades 3-5.

This is a one-year Algebra I course for Grades 7-9.

Students who have a solid algebra background will have no trouble with the algebra problems from SAT and even the GRE.

This 384-page book highlights vocabulary and notation, and has examples from the history of math.

What makes this book unique and different from other algebra textbooks is that it is built from the experiences of an award-winning algebra teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience.

Many textbooks are written by a committee of authors, and many of those authors have little experience teaching beginning algebra students in middle school or high school.

Understanding Algebra I presents the most essential concepts and skills needed to fully understand and gain confidence in algebra in a step-by-step fashion, teaching students that algebra is generalized arithmetic.

It helps students see the connection between mathematics that they already know and algebra, so that learning algebra becomes easier and less abstract.

This book provides students with real strategies to succeed in solving word problems by using charts and translating strategies that guarantee success.

Recommended for grades 7 and up.
