Math Detective® uses topics and skills drawn from national math standards to prepare your students for advanced math courses and assessments that measure reasoning, reading comprehension, and writing in math. Students read a short story that includes a chart, table, or graph. Next they answer critical thinking questions to improve their understanding of the math concept and develop their critical thinking (comprehension) skills. Students can’t just scan the story for answers—they must carefully analyze and synthesize the information from the text and the chart, table, or graph to explain and support their answers. Stories are age-relevant, high-interest, and show students that math is integral to everyday activities. Teaching Support: Includes general and student introductions, a lesson that explains the concept of evidence, a chart of topics and key ideas to help select activities, and detailed answers. 110 pages.

To introduce the idea of solving analogies, a pre-analogy section gives practice in finding similarities, categorizing, making comparisons, and using Venn diagrams. Primary Analogies, Book 1 begins with picture-to-picture analogies. Two pictures that have a special relationship are connected by a line in a frame containing six pictures. Students choose two other pictures from the frame that have the same relationship and connect them with a line. In the All-Star level, students create their own analogies, choosing from labeled pictures or words in a box and telling, in their own writing, how they go together. Gr. K-1 Learn More

This series of books, developed by teachers in the Ridgewood, New Jersey, Public Schools, is based on the curriculum they have been using with their elementary and middle-school students for the past 10 years. Ridgewood Analogies 4 contains an introductory section about how analogies work and some practice exercises. The rest of book 4 is organized by subject areas: • Geography • History and Government • Language Arts • Math Students solve analogies in each of these areas, which enable them to use information they are learning in the subject areas. In all exercises, students provide missing terms in analogies and write out a phrase that describes the particular relationship; for example, a bat is used to hit a ball, just as a racket is used to hit a tennis ball. Teachers then have an opportunity to assess students’ grasp of content, as well as their ability to use analogies to identify relationships and make connections. grade 7. Learn More
