Math should be fun and that has been accomplished in this great book My students love it --Kimberley Arbouw, Teacher, Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 3, Roanoke, Virginias I adore the Math-tivities book It is my new go to book. I love that I can use it on the computer or print a copy of an activity for my students. The activities in it are great for warm ups, review, R.T.I., and sub plans. I also keep a copy in case I get called for last minute meetings. My students love how the lessons incorporate art and math. --Michelle Divkey, Teacher, Kindergarten, California Brian and Yvonne Crawford have a dynamic way of approaching math. Their activities are versatile enough to challenge fast learners, while the readability of their word problems doesn't inhibit the students that lack a strong reading and vocabulary background. The lessons are rigorous, but still entertaining, which is a big plus in this era of digital gimmicks. Their activities meet CCSS standards while allowing me to differentiate to fit the needs and learning styles of the students in my classroom --Jennifer Ayers, Teacher, Grade 2, Chattanooga, Tennessee |
