Are you looking for new ways to help your children learn math? In a math journal, children explore their own ideas about numbers, shapes, and patterns through drawing or writing in response to a question. Journaling encourages students to develop a rich mathematical mindset. They begin to see connections and make sense of math concepts. They grow confident in their ability to think through new ideas. All they need is a piece of paper, a pencil, and a good prompt to launch their mathematical journey. 312 Things To Do with a Math Journal includes number play prompts, games, math art, story problems, mini-essays, geometry investigations, brainteasers, number patterns, research projects, and much more. These activities work at any grade level, and most can be enjoyed more than once. It doesn’t matter whether your students are homeschooled or in a classroom, distance-learning, or in person. Everyone can enjoy the experience of playing around with math. Early Reviews from My Journaling Beta-Testers: • "We really enjoyed these!" • "I remember doing pages and pages of dull equations with no creativity or puzzle-thinking, but now as a homeschool mom, I'm actually enjoying math for the first time! My daughter's math skills have skyrocketed and she always asks to start homeschool with math." • "Thank you for a great intro to Playful Math!" • "All of the kids were excited about their journals. My oldest kept going without prompting and did several more pages on his own." • "We had a lot of fun doing your math prompts. We had never done any math journaling before, but we will certainly integrate this into our weekly routine from now on." Pick up a copy of 312 Things To Do with a Math Journal and begin your family’s math journaling adventure today.

This comprehensive listing and discussion of poetic works supports the standards of all areas of the curriculum, helping librarians and teachers working with kindergarten through middle school students. This second edition of Using Poetry Across the Curriculum: Learning to Love Language offers a comprehensive list of poetry anthologies, poetic picture books, and poetic prose works in a wide variety of subject areas. While it maintains the original edition's focus on ideas and resource lists for integration of poetry into all areas of the curriculum, it is thoroughly revised to cover current issues in education and the wealth of new poetry books available. The book is organized by subject areas commonly taught in elementary and middle schools, and, within these, by the national standards in each area. Numerous examples of poetry and poetic prose that can be used to help students understand and appreciate aspects of the standard are listed. A sampling of units that arise from groups of works, writing and performance ideas, and links across the curriculum is also included. While many teaching ideas and topics provide references to the standards they meet, this title is unique in starting with those standards and making links across them.
