“The Revolutionary War” provides a detailed overview of the American battle for independence and the forging of a nation. From the earliest skirmishes at Lexington and Concord to the decisive victory at Yorktown, to the writing of the Constitution and the struggles of early national America, this book tracks both the logistical and intellectual dimensions of the "revolution," which, as John Adams said, took place "in the hearts and minds of Americans . . . before a single drop of blood was shed." As much as it vividly documents the particulars of battle, it is the dizzying aftermath of the war and the complexities of fulfilling the "idea" of America that form the impressive substance of this book. Also discussed are the social, cultural, and artistic advances of the post-Revolutionary period, including women's suffrage and the beginning of public education, with special emphasis given to the "American Renaissance" and the rising of distinctly American literature. Grades 7-12. 112 pages. Learn More

Constructive Implementation of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics Through very practical strategies that teachers can immediately borrow for their classes, Teaching to Intuition seeks to address the widespread estrangement from mathematics displayed by many. Focusing on essential elementary and middle school topics, at that early stage where the gaps begin and where too many children lose ground and lose hope, Teaching to Intuition seeks to reconcile students with mathematics itself. It proposes strategies to connect the facts and processes of mathematics to our children’s intimate sense of understanding and helps them see mathematics as an emanation of realities and thinking structures that are already theirs. 190 pages.

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

Designed to accompany the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind program, this Handbook of Rules assembles into one handy reference work all of the principles that govern the English language—from basic definitions (“A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea”) through advanced sentence structure and analysis. Each rule is illustrated with examples drawn from great literature, along with classic and contemporary works of science, history, and mathematics. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is an innovative program that combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience). Each year, parents and teachers go through the dialogue, rules, and examples in the Core Instructor Text (sold separately, Item #7946); students follow along in the Student Workbook (sold separately, Item #7947). This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student’s mind. Hardcover. 102 pages. From Well-Trained Mind Press. Learn More

The Key, along with the accompanying Student Purple Workbook (sold separately, Item # 7947) and the Core Instructor Text (sold separately, Item #7946), make up Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that takes students from basic definitions (“A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea”) through advanced sentence structure and analysis—all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence. This innovative program combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience). Each Key to the Student Workbooks provides not only answers, but also explanations for the parent/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are). All of the rules covered, along with the repeated examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in the Comprehensive Handbook of Rules. This will become the student’s indispensable guide to writing through high school, into college and beyond. From Well-Trained Mind Press. Learn More

• Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help technical and visual learners to understand and use the English language effectively. All diagrams are thoroughly explained to the instructor/parent.
• Text for examples and exercises are drawn from great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences.
• Regular review is built into each year of work.
• Core text is designed to be used effectively with students from fifth grade through high school, regardless of background.
• The program is easily customizable to each student’s strengths and weaknesses

They're great for introducing students to encryption, algebraic thinking, and basic computer programming operations.

Each puzzle requires students to break a secret code so they can identify a hidden quotation.

To break the code, students must apply logic and mathematical reasoning to 3-sets of clues.

The challenge is getting all the information out of each clue!

Once students break the code, they can solve the cryptogram by substituting the numbers with their corresponding code letters.

This book familiarizes students with classic quotations from famous thinkers such as Albert Einstein, Voltaire, Socrates, and more!

These activities are independent and self-contained, but tend to build on one another and get gradually more sophisticated. 

Although this book's patterns appropriate for Grades 3-4, experiences with these activities may vary widely depending upon readiness for abstraction.

There are many ways to solve and explain a pattern problem, and the solutions provided are not intended to be unique. In all situations, and at whatever pace and facility, the transition from concrete to abstract thinking is worthwhile.

Recommended for grades 3 and 4.
