The Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The 180 quick activities--one for each day of the school year-- review, practice, and teach the principles of logic. These daily activities may be used at the very beginning of class to get students into learning mode, near the end of class to make good educational use of that transitional time, in the middle of class to shift gears between lessons--or whenever else you have minutes that now go unused. In addition to providing students with interesting logic problems, they are a natural path to other classroom activities involving critical thinking.

Textbooks present new concepts and learning tasks for students to complete with educator supervision. They include practice and review problems, and are designed to be used alongside workbooks. Features & Components:

• Mathematical concepts are introduced in the opening pages and taught to mastery through specific learning tasks that allow for immediate assessment and consolidation.
• The Concrete Pictorial Abstract approach enables students to encounter math in a meaningful way.
• Direct correlation of the textbook to the workbook facilitates focused review and evaluation.
• The modeling method enables students to visualize and solve problems quickly and efficiently.
• New mathematical concepts are introduced through a spiral progression that builds on concepts already taught and mastered.
• Metacognition is employed as a strategy for learners to monitor their thinking processes in problem solving. Speech and thought bubbles provide guidance through the thought processes, making even the most challenging problems accessible to students.
• Color patches invite active student participation and facilitate lively discussion about concepts.
• Regular reviews in the textbook provide consolidation opportunities.
• The glossary effectively combines pictorial representation with simple mathematical definitions to provide a comprehensive reference guide for students.
• A curriculum map details where to find textbook content that covers each of the Common Core State Standards.

Why Choose The Pencil Grip?

The Pencil Grip is the original ergonomic writing aid. Writing becomes easy and natural. The Pencil Grip improves handwriting, helps to give more control, and reduces hand fatigue. Its unique, patented design gently encourages the fingers and hand to rest in the proper position for gripping – The Tripod Grip. Unlike other pencil grips, The Pencil Grip feels natural because of its ergonomic design and soft, flexible, latex-free material.

Helps Hands And Improves Handwriting

The Pencil Grip was designed by a doctor and is widely used in classrooms, at home, and in therapeutic settings. The unique shape is designed to be “one size fits all” to help the hands of kids and adults, and work for both righties and lefties. The Pencil Grip can be used as a training tool, and then permanently for added comfort. The Pencil Grip fits on pencils, primary pencils, pens, crayons, markers, paint brushes, etc., so its benefits can be widely enjoyed.

How To Use

Slide the wider end of the grip on first. Righties and Lefties simply place their thumb on the “R” or the “L” printed on the grip. Fingers will naturally fall into place with the middle finger on the underside of the grip. The images on the left show proper positioning.

Improve Kids' Handwriting

A comfortable hand has more control and shows improved handwriting. The Pencil Grip guides the hand into an ergonomic position. It relieves hand pain, reduces fatigue, and improves comfort. Consistent use teaches and reinforces the proper grip, and stops common problems like fist grips, thumb-wrapping, and white-knuckling. Parents, teachers, and occupational therapists widely recommend using The Pencil Grip.

Helping Adult Hands

The Pencil Grip is widely used by the millions of Americans diagnosed with hand health issues like Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tremors, and a general lack of strength. The Arthritis Foundation recognized The Pencil Grip for ‘helping to improve the quality of life of the millions of Americans with arthritis. ’ The Pencil Grip received this commendation because it is easy and comfortable to hold.

Workbooks offer the independent practice necessary for students to hone their skills. Corresponding to textbook material, lessons begin with fundamentals and progresses to more challenging problems. Features & Components:

• Basics: Provide a review of basic concepts covered in textbooks.
• Practice: Reinforces and consolidates learning through practice problems.
• Challenge: Offers advanced enrichment through challenging problems.
• Check: Gives students a chance to confirm their understanding.

Note: Two workbooks (A and B) for each grade correspond to the two halves of the school year. Answer key not included. Soft cover. Grades PK-2 Workbooks are perforated. A note for teachers: Differentiated workbook problems offer a range of complexity. The workbook problems in each lesson are structured to become increasingly challenging. Every student will not necessarily complete every question. Lessons are structured to include the following sections, in order: Basics, Practice, and Challenge. Basics covers the main concepts of the lesson (and shows parents how these concepts were taught). Practice offers further practice. Challenge problems are optional and can be used as homework or in class, as time permits. Students will work at their own pace, starting from the problems in Basics, progressing to Practice, then to Challenge. It is not essential for all problems to be completed if homework load is a concern. Additionally, students may arrive at correct answers using different processes from the ones shown in the Teacher's Guide. Accept all correct answers, as methods used may vary throughout.
