Put math manipulatives to work in your classroom and make teaching and learning math both meaningful and productive. Mastering Math Manipulatives includes everything you need to integrate math manipulatives—both concrete and virtual—into math learning. Each chapter of this richly illustrated, easy-to-use guide focuses on a different powerful tool, such as base ten blocks, fraction manipulatives, unit squares and cubes, Cuisenaire Rods, Algebra tiles and two-color counters, geometric strips and solids, geoboards, and others, and includes a set of activities that demonstrate the many ways teachers can leverage manipulatives to model and reinforce math concepts for all learners. It features: · Classroom strategies for introducing math manipulatives, including commercial, virtual, and hand-made manipulatives, into formal math instruction. · Step-by-step instructions for over 70 activities that work with any curriculum, including four-color photos, printable work mats, and demonstration videos. · Handy charts that sort activities by manipulative type, math topic, domains aligned with standards, and grade-level appropriateness.

With small steps and our carefully crafted questions, every pupil will achieve greater progress. Designed to be used flexibly, this second edition textbook has been updated to include more Mastery-style questions and whole-class activities. Whether you follow a full Mastery scheme, choose to use Mastery aspects or you're just looking for quality resources, our three textbooks support the way you want to teach. Each book gradually builds on prior knowledge, developing pupils' confidence, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills. · Secure understanding with differentiated questions and worked examples that build on prior knowledge, following the 'do it, secure it, deepen it' Mastery structure · Recap skills and topics from Key Stage 2, ensuring a smooth transition to Key Stage 3 · Target key skills using the fluency, reasoning and problem-solving markers in the margin · Build confidence with starter activities and warm-up questions to introduce each concept · Develop reasoning skills using non-examples, where pupils identify mistakes in sample answers · Track progress through review questions, building key skills and knowledge · Benefit from the expertise of UK Mastery trained subject specialists with over 30 years of teaching experience · Cover the full UK National Curriculum and all four strands - number, algebra, geometry and measures, statistics and probability - within our three restructured textbooks for Key Stage 3 Our flexible, Mastery-led approach Our flexible approach allows you to teach maths your way. You can choose to focus on building understanding using the graduated questions or take a Mastery approach to exposition using manipulatives and 'concrete, pictorial, abstract' in the optional class activities. Answers will be provided online.

What good is math if you can't put it to good use? Studies show that problem solving is THE most neglected topic in most math programs. This book will ensure that the students develop their math critical thinking skills. Students will learn to apply whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents to real-life situations.

An illustrated reference to construction-related mathematical questions that includes explanations, helpful tips, formulas and calculations, metric conversion tables, and more.
