Students compare their own data such as the ages of their pets with world record data; use pan balances to compare the weight of fruit or vegetable pieces before and after one or two days of exposure to air; solve comparison problems with several addends; and solve problems involving money, linear measurement, and time.

Students recommend $100 worth of children's books for the school library; investigate distances in miles and tenths of a mile using a city map to plan a tour of the area; discuss ways to combine and compare large numbers; and plan a trip around the U.S. of no more than 10,000 miles. Suggested pacing: 16 sessions.

Money, Miles and Large Numbers: Addition and Subtraction (Investigations in Number, Data and Space)(Grade 4)

Susan Jo Russell

KAREN ECONOMOPOULOS

Joan Akers

Students count, combine numbers, play math games, solve problems, investigate patterns, represent results of surveys they take, and create their own designs and constructions. They use mathematical tools and materials (interlocking cubes, pattern blocks, and Geoblocks), share strategies, and use pictures, numbers, and words to show their work. Suggestions for organizing the classroom environment and for establishing classroom routines are included. Suggested pacing: 28 sessions.

Mathematical Thinking at Grade Level 1 Investigation in Numbers, Data, and Space

Most parents know that the most important thing they can do to help their kids learn to read is to read with them. But what's the mathematical equivalent to reading aloud? Up until now, parents have had few models for helping their children understand math. And most existing models are limited to repetitive workbooks and flashcards. In Beyond Facts &amp; Flashcards, Jan Mokros shows parents how to transform the family's involvement in mathematics to help children see the big picture. The book provides answers to questions such as: <ul>
<li>What mathematical skills should children be developing now to equip them for the future? </li> <li>How can parents help children develop these skills? </li> <li>How can parents and teachers work together to ensure that children are doing more than a narrowly-defined study of "bookkeeping" math? </li> </ul>
Beyond Facts &amp; Flashcards not only presents lots of games and activities that parents and their children can play together, it also describes how the activities relate to mathematics, what's reasonable to expect a child to understand, and how to ask questions that elicit and support children's learning. This is an excellent resource to recommend to parents of primary and elementary students.
