This third resource in the popular series gives intermediate teachers the help previously offered only to teachers in kindergarten through grade 3. The book offers 20 lessons based on popular children's books including: Counting on Frank, The Giraffe That Walked to Paris, and Jumanji. Introduction by Marilyn Burns.

Requiring only 5 to 15 minutes to teach, these quick, engaging activities offer experiences in all of the content areas important to elementary mathematics: number, measurement, geometry, data analysis and probability, and algebra. Each resource of 27 classroom-tested lessons models how to develop several important math processes: problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation. Each activity features a materials list, step-by-step teaching directions, a list of key questions to ask students during the lesson, a vignette of how the lesson actually unfolded in a classroom, and ideas for extending the activity throughout the year. Each book includes reproducibles.

Most important to being a good science teacher is holding the expectation that all students can be scientists and think critically. Providing a thinking curriculum is especially important for those children in diverse classrooms who have been underserved by our educational system. — Becoming Scientists
Good science starts with a question, perhaps from the teacher at the start of a science unit or from the children as they wonder what makes a toy car move, how food decomposes, or why leaves change color. Using inquiry science, children discover answers to their questions in the same way that scientists do—they design experiments, make predictions, observe and describe, offer and test explanations, and share their conjectures with others. In essence, they construct their own understanding of how the world works through experimentation, reflection, and discussion.
Look into real classrooms where teachers practice inquiry science and engage students in the science and engineering practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards. Rusty Bresser and Sharon Fargason show teachers how to do the following:
<ul>
<li>Build on students' varied experiences, background knowledge, and readiness</li> <li>Respond to the needs of students with varying levels of English language proficiency</li> <li>Manage a diverse classroom during inquiry science exploration</li> <li>Facilitate science discussions</li> <li>Deepen their own science content knowledge</li>
</ul>
As the authors state, "Inquiry science has little to do with textbooks and lectures and everything to do with our inherent need as a species to learn about and reflect on the world around us." Join your students on a journey of discovery as you explore your world via inquiry.

This multimedia resource helps schools implement effective instructional practices that create sustainable results for English language learners. The research-based materials in this program assist educators with simultaneously developing students’ mastery of mathematics and their academic language proficiency. The components include a DVD with real-life footage of teachers and students in action, a two-book series describing best practices for teaching mathematics to English language learners and a Facilitator’s Guide with materials for follow-up coaching including questions to guide viewing and reading, activities and reproducibles.

No matter what state standards or textbook you are using to guide your teaching of mathematics, this resource gives you a spectrum of ways to foster number sense in grades 3–5. You’ll find: innovative, classroom-tested routines (including number talks), focus lessons, and games; step-by-step directions; vignettes that describe actual occurrences of each activity being taught; an exploration of the four features integral to developing number sense; and connections to the mathematical practices to help teachers envision them in action.
