Provides vision for strong school library programs, including identification of the skills and knowledge essential for students to be information literate. Includes recommended baseline staffing, access, and resources for school library services at each grade level.

Beast Academy Guide 2A and its companion Practice 2A (sold separately) are the first part in the planned four-part series for 2nd grade mathematics. Book 2A includes chapters on place value, comparing, and addition.

"How to flexibly organize school book rooms in service of instruction-aligned classroom libraries"--

Detailed plans for helping elementary students experience deep mathematical learning Do you work tirelessly to make your math lessons meaningful, challenging, accessible, and engaging? Do you spend hours you don’t have searching for, adapting, and creating tasks to provide rich experiences for your students that supplement your mathematics curriculum? Help has arrived! Classroom Ready-Rich Math Tasks for Grades 4-5 details more than 50 research- and standards-aligned, high-cognitive-demand tasks that will have your students doing deep-problem-based learning. These ready-to-implement, engaging tasks connect skills, concepts and practices, while encouraging students to reason, problem-solve, discuss, explore multiple solution pathways, connect multiple representations, and justify their thinking. They help students monitor their own thinking and connect the mathematics they know to new situations. In other words, these tasks allow students to truly do mathematics! Written with a strengths-based lens and an attentiveness to all students, this guide includes: • Complete task-based lessons, referencing mathematics standards and practices, vocabulary, and materials • Downloadable planning tools, student resource pages, and thoughtful questions, and formative assessment prompts • Guidance on preparing, launching, facilitating, and reflecting on each task • Notes on access and equity, focusing on students’ strengths, productive struggle, and distance or alternative learning environments. With concluding guidance on adapting or creating additional rich tasks for your students, this guide will help you give all of your students the deepest, most enriching and engaging mathematics learning experience possible.

This research-based K-6 program is built to provide instruction on the Common Core Standards, and includes special emphasis on the Mathematical Practices and Learning Progressions at every grade level. Based on the NSF-funded Children's Math Worlds project and over 10 years of research, Math Expressions is proven to be effective in raising student achievement. Hands-on and inquiry driven, Math Expressions Common Core teaches students how to represent solutions and explain their answers. This approach helps develop problem-solving and reasoning skills. The strong emphasis in Math Expressions on representation and discussion opens up the world of mathematics to all learners. Every lesson includes intervention, on-level, and challenge differentiation to support classroom needs.--Publisher.
