In grades 3-5, students extend their understanding of place value, larger whole numbers, fractions and decimals. They develop an understanding of multiplication and division, mastering and applying basic facts. Concrete materials can help students represent and reinforce these important concepts. Activities in this book invite students to use fraction circles to compare fractions and dot arrays to explore multiplication and the distributive property.

Lessons for K-8 teachers on making algebra an integral part of their mathematics instruction.

Children in prekindergarten focus on counting and gradually master the essential one-to-one matching of an object to a number. By the end of second grade, they can represent one, two and three digit numbers, understand simple fractions and apply a variety of facts and strategies to add and subtract skilfully. This book supports this progression by inviting students to count and order ducklings in a line, compute the total cost of several items on a menu and play a variety of games that reinforce their understanding of number, addition and subtraction.

The book shows teachers how the fundamental ideas of measurement can be introduced to very young students.
