Spark the interest of even the most indifferent math student!

There are 15 games in the Grades 6-8 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.

Meaningful situations – for the application of mathematical skills Motivation – children enjoy playing Positive attitude – games reduce the fear of failure and error Increased learning – increased interaction between children and more opportunities to test intuitive ideas and problem solving strategies Different levels – games allow children to operate at different levels of thinking Assessment – children’s thinking becomes apparent through actions and decisions they make during a game.

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.

These popular, easy-to-use detective cases are suitable for Grades 6 – 12+. Students must apply critical reading, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning. The mathematics needed to solve these cases require the application of common middle school math concepts, but don’t be fooled! The real challenges are to first identify the clues by synthesizing from different witnesses and suspects, and then determine the necessary math needed to turn the clues into evidence.

Some cases may be more challenging for younger students, but teachers and parents can always use the optional hints provided to help students that reach a dead end. The cases also develop observation skills, reading comprehension, and deductive and inductive thinking skills. Learning to identify and evaluate evidence is the very heart of critical thinking.

48 pages. Grades 6-12.
