This book contains hands on activities for all the math standards. Whether you need to introduce a concept, re-teach, or explore a lesson further, this book will inspire you to bring creativity into math. Most activities require little preparation and materials. Photographs and illustrations make the directions easy to follow. Also included are ideas to extend the lesson, which can be beneficial for advanced learners or early finishers.

I teach fourth graders, and my kids love all the activities from this book -- they look great hung up about the classroom! Art sometimes gets lost by the wayside, but this is a great way to integrate it!
