Developing mathematical ideas : part 1, building a system of tens : DS21961.

Gain a deeper understanding of fractions and percentages with Number & Operations. Our resource provides task and word problems surrounding real-life scenarios. Cut a cake into equal parts to share with friends. Dissect fractions with numerators and denominators. Go on the internet to see how many trading cards you can get with $50. Play with percentages by finding out how many people 20% of the total represents. Complete a pattern with the correct integers. Circle numbers on a number line. The task sheets provide a leveled approach to learning, starting with grade 3 and increasing in difficulty to grade 5. Aligned to your State Standards and meeting the concepts addressed by the NCTM standards, reproducible task sheets, drill sheets, review and answer key are included.

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.

Early childhood mathematics is vitally important for young children's present and future educational success. Research demonstrates that virtually all young children have the capability to learn and become competent in mathematics. Furthermore, young children enjoy their early informal experiences with mathematics. Unfortunately, many children's potential in mathematics is not fully realized, especially those children who are economically disadvantaged. This is due, in part, to a lack of opportunities to learn mathematics in early childhood settings or through everyday experiences in the home and in their communities. Improvements in early childhood mathematics education can provide young children with the foundation for school success. Relying on a comprehensive review of the research, Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood lays out the critical areas that should be the focus of young children's early mathematics education, explores the extent to which they are currently being incorporated in early childhood settings, and identifies the changes needed to improve the quality of mathematics experiences for young children. This book serves as a call to action to improve the state of early childhood mathematics. It will be especially useful for policy makers and practitioners-those who work directly with children and their families in shaping the policies that affect the education of young children.

With a focus on number and operations, a guide to using leveled texts to differentiate instruction in mathematics offers fifteen different topics with high-interest text written at four different reading levels, accompanied by matching visuals and practice problems.
