In these engaging activities children use collections of small interesting objects, "treasures," in an innovative series of mathematics activities. Working with treasures provides fresh ways for students to learn and grow, bringing many important science and math skills to life.
Six main activities are outlined for teachers with clear step-by-step directions, complete with assessment outlines and "going further" suggestions. The activities build upon one another to allow students to develop their abilities in many areas of math and science. Challenges that require careful observation, sorting and classification, logical thinking, graphing, and analyzing data are woven throughout this unit.
TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction Time Frame Activity 1 Collecting Treasures Activity 2 Exploring Treasures Activity 3 Treasures of Many Sorts Activity 4 Treasure Graphs Activity 5 Treasure Maps Activity 6 Sharing Treasures Going Further Sources for Materials Assessment Suggestions Literature Connections Summary Outlines Sample Letter to Families
"I like how the children share in collecting, sorting and setting up the boxes. The correlation of each activity with computer programs and with children's literature is excellent. The inclusion of a section on literature connections provides a wonderful resource. . . . Treasure Boxes is a well-designed, teacher friendly program. I highly recommend it as a supplemental resource in early-childhood and elementary classes."-Teaching Children Mathematics, March 1999

Education & Reference

These activities, for grades Kindergarten through six, bring the natural world inside, deepening student understanding of and connection to all living things. The activities begin with an exploration of soil. Teams of students design and construct terrariums for the classroom. Sowbugs, earthworms, and crickets are placed in the terrarium habitat and students observe and record changes over time. There are detailed instructions on setting up and maintaining the terrariums, along with concise and interesting biological information on a number of possible small organisms (such as sow bugs, earthworms, and snails) that can become terrarium inhabitants. Special features include an optional soil profile test for older students and making 3decomposition bags to learn more about the natural life cycle.

In this series of fun and playful activities, young children meet the only North American marsupial, learning a lot about opossums, marsupials, and animal behavior. Drama, role-playing, and art are interwoven with science, math, and language arts as students make model opossum pouches, create baby opossums with pipe cleaner tails, and sniff out and munch on opossum snacks. Throughout the unit, children gain practice measuring, estimating, and counting, and, in the culminating activity, they make a book of drawings and writings about opossums. 
The activities can be done in classrooms, day care centers, or at home, and are ment for anyone who works with children. Complete information on opossums is provided for adults, along with lists of resources and children1s literature. The activities have been extensively tested by educators across the country. 
A fascinating nocturnal creature, the opossum is close to the imaginations of many children. These creative, teacher-tested Opossum activities provide a wealth of meaningful and positive learning experiences.

This book is a synthesis of current ideas in early childhood education- intended to help spark ideas about new directions in science and math learning for children, parents, families, and teachers. Successful techniques and strategies for incorporating developmentally appropriate practice, using questions effectively, constructing curriculum, and reaching all students are outlined using examples of lessons and activities developed by the PEACHES and GEMS programs. Chapters include, "The Role of Teachers and Parents," "Children's Play and Creativity," "Language Development," "Mathematics in Early Childhood," and "Active Assessment." This handbook offers valuable support tot he early childhood educator and new perspectives on the crucial importance of math and science education for young children.
