This book is the first in a three-book series of deductive logic puzzles. This safari will send students on an expedition that will result in hours of good thinking and unbridled enthusiasm. If your students liked our Connections puzzles, they'll love these newer deductive logic puzzles. Each motivating puzzle includes an introduction, clues, grid and illustration. The quest with these great books is to hunt down the clues and combine them into the correct solution. It's a safari that's worth taking. Grades 2-3.

Boredom is a widespread and significant universal problem. The condition hits rich and poor, men and women, young and old alike. It has been considered a contributing cause to many social problems, including substance abuse, eating disorders, gambling, job dissatisfaction, property damage, and poor academic achievement. It has also been clinically linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, hostility, and loneliness. Even with these daily realities of boredom, the average person has no extensive general knowledge of it. This complete exploration of boredom provides parents and teachers with important information that will allow them to understand why children complain about being bored and help them develop strategies to combat boredom. Providing both theory and practical advice, this clear, down-to-earth guide explains why some people are more prone to boredom than others and shows what parents, teachers, and children themselves can do to alleviate the feelings of boredom. Specific tools to help assess feelings of boredom and questions to ask your child to help diagnose the problem are provided. Learn about the “hows” and &amp;ldquowhys” of boredom and make you classroom a more dynamic learning environment for all children. If you work or live with a child who complains about being bored, you need this book.

Using this book, students learn to draw stars with seven, eight, or more points, and formulate conjectures about their mathematical structure. They also assemble polygons into 3-D polyhedra and develop spatial intuition.Drawing Stars: Students develop a definition of star and find a procedure for drawing stars with seven, eight, nine, or more points. They also use stars to illustrate multiplication: for example, 2 x 4 = 8 describes two overlapping squares that form an 8-pointed star. Students discern mathematical properties of stars. They distinguish continuous stars (which can be drawn without lifting pencil from paper) from stars that consist of overlapping copies of simpler stars. Students formulate a conjecture that uses the Greatest Common Factor to predict whether a particular star will be continuous or overlapping.Building Polyhedra: Students assemble equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, and decagons to form symmetrical 3-D solids called polyhedra. This book allows students to experiment for themselves: Some combinations don't work, but students enjoy discovering the combinations that do fit together. Students develop spatial intuition that applies to the structure of molecules, to playground climbing equipment, and to geodesic domes. The book provides reproducible handouts of polygons to photocopy onto colored paper. Students cut out the polygons, fold the flaps, and attach them with small staplers. Completed polyhedra make an attractive wall display.These activities meet four distinct NCTM standards.
