Helping teachers prepare elementary students to master the
common core math standards
With the common core math curriculum being adopted by
forty-three states, it is imperative that students learn to master
those key math standards. Teaching the Common Core Math
Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades 3-5 is the only book
currently available that provides activities directly correlated to
the new core curriculum for math. This text assists teachers with
instructing the material and allows students to practice the
concepts through use of the grade-appropriate activities
included.
Students learn in different ways, and Teaching the Common
Core Math Standards with Hands-On Activities, Grades 3-5
acknowledges that fact through the inclusion of suggestions for
variations and extensions of each concept to be used for students
with different abilities and learning styles. The activities and
lessons are as diverse as the students in your classroom. Inside
Teaching with Common Core Math Standards With Hands-On
Activities Grades 3-5, you will find:
* Clear instructions to help you cover the skills and concepts
for the new math core curriculum
* Engaging activities that enforce each core math standard for
your students
* Various suggestions for ways to instruct the concepts to reach
the diverse learning styles of your students
* Complete coverage of mathematical calculations, mathematical
reasoning, and problem-solving strategies appropriate for grades
3-5
Teaching the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On
Activities, Grades 3-5 prepares students to achieve success in
the important area of mathematics. As your students gain an
understanding of the common core standards, they will build
confidence in their ability to grasp and manipulate mathematical
concepts as they move forward to the next level.
