A series of three books which present classroom-tested ideas and methods for teaching mathematics through problem solving. These books incorporate the new national standards for teaching math through lesson plans which emphasize cooperative group instruction, use of manipulatives, and independent student investigation. Each book is illustrated with samples of actual student work.

This wonderful resource is filled with practical, classroom-tested ideas for teaching mathematics with a problem-solving approach. All lessons encourage children to work cooperatively; explain their ideas; listen and question one another; and agree on solutions. Classroom vignettes describe lessons in vivid detail, and samples of actual student work are included throughout. Most lessons implement the use of manipulative materials to help children think about and reflect on mathematical ideas. Part I in this book includes six lessons that integrate ideas from different strands of the math curriculum, including algebra, measurement, probability, statistics, and logical reasoning. Part II provides two sample replacement units with a two- to three-week study focus, one on the area of a circle and the other on percents.

Collection of Math Lessons, A: Grades 6-8

Humphreys, Cathy

Students develop understanding of multiplication from a variety of problem-solving perspectives-geometrical, numerical, and practical situations. Includes activities from strands of probability, statistics, patterns and functions, and geometry.

Math by All Means: Multiplication, Grade 3

This unit helps teachers develop students’ understanding of the properties of shapes. Lessons incorporate children’s literature, explore quilt designs, and use manipulative materials to help students investigate how shapes are related to one another, including what happens when shapes are combined or divided.

Math By All Means: Geometry, Grades 1-2

Confer, Chris

Students learn about place value through explorations with grouping, counting, measuring, and graphing. Includes activities from strands of statistics, geometry, and logical reasoning.

Math by All Means: Place Value, Grade 1-2

The lessons in this book actively involve students in exploring geometric ideas through hands-on investigations with two- and three-dimensional shapes. Students also develop greater proficiency in logic, number, and measurement.

Geometry, Grades 3-4 (Math by All Means)

Rectanus, Cheryl

Challenging games, experiments, and investigations provide the context for students to gather sample data, predict outcomes, and then test their predictions. Students soon discover that they can assess the likelihood of an event actually occurring.
