What's happened to the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division you learned in school? And why are your children talking in math class and sharing answers? In jargon-free language, It's Elementary not only decodes current teaching practices but also demystifies the fundamental concepts that your children need to understand to be successful maths learners.

What is fifth grade math? Not all schools and teachers around the world cover the same topics in the same depth in 5th grade, yet at this stage the student is generally learning a variety of arithmetic and prealgebra skills. This fifth grade math workbook includes: decimal place values, arithmetic with decimals, arithmetic with fractions (including mixed numbers), multiplication with multiple digits, long division practice, data analysis with a variety of graphs, pattern recognition (additive and multiplicative relationships), geometric figures (including perimeter and area), measurement and unit conversions (customary and metric), a first introduction to working with variables, financial mathematics, and other fifth grade math and prealgebra skills. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook to share his strategies for applying arithmetic and prealgebra skills. The answers to all of the exercises can be checked with a key at the back.

Make Rich Math Instruction Come to Life Online In an age when distance learning has become part of the "new normal," educators know that rich remote math teaching involves more than direct instruction, online videos, and endless practice problems on virtual worksheets. Using both personal experience and those of teachers in real K-12 online classrooms, distance learning mathematics veteran Theresa Wills translates all we know about research-based, equitable, rigorous face-to-face mathematics instruction into an online venue. This powerful guide equips math teachers to: Build students’ agency, identity, and strong math communities Promote mathematical thinking, collaboration, and discourse Incorporate rich mathematics tasks and assign meaningful homework and practice Facilitate engaging online math instruction using virtual manipulatives and other concrete learning tools Recognize and address equity and inclusion challenges associated with distance learning Assess mathematics learning from a distance With examples across the grades, links to tutorials and templates, and space to reflect and plan, Teaching Math at a Distance offers the support, clarity, and inspiration needed to guide teachers through teaching math remotely without sacrificing deep learning and academic growth.
