You don't have to learn math by yourself! Solving problems in groups is exciting, effective, and equitableit helps all students succeed in math. Get It Together is a collection of over 100 mathematics problems for groups of 26 students. The problems cover a wide range of math topics such as logic, functions, algebra, geometry, measurement, and number patterns at various levels of difficulty. Each problem has the same format: six clue cards provide the information needed to solve a problem. Since each member of the group has a different bit of information, everyone works together to arrive at a solution. In one problem, only some people get sick after eating a potluck meal. Was it the swamp chicken, the cheesecake, or something else? The group collaborates to discover which food was the culprit. This book is an excellent resource with teacher information on cooperative groups, assessment, problem solving and the use of manipulatives.

Do you remember in sights or sounds? For one family, the 1970s and 80s were filled with small moments in and around the farm that will never be forgotten. Waking to piano notes lilting from the music room and the sizzle of fresh eggs in the kitchen¿.¿.¿. scanning the horizon for a hint of rain or waiting for the first bean seedlings to pop through the soil¿.¿.¿. listening for the rumbling of tractors in spring or the gentle lowing of mama cows as they get their sunrise bucket of feed¿.¿.¿. tasting the bitter salt of sweat from hauling hay or the cooling breezes of a picnic under the trees¿.¿.¿. these everyday events in those simpler days seem more welcome than ever today. A labor of love for three siblings, The Stillmeadow Years: The Rhythm of Life on One Family Farm is a collection of family history, childhood memoirs, and biographical poetry that paint a picture of how a Midwestern family gave their all to one family farm.
