A great way to jump-start every math class! Two high-interest and engaging math problems for every day of the school year. Both are related to the same NCTM math standard, but vary in level of difficulty, giving teachers the option of assigning one or both, depending on the skill level of their students. Also includes suggestions for alternative methods of presentation to add variety, keep the mood fresh, and maintain student interest. Reproducible. 96 pages.
My head is always bursting with ideas. Just ask my family! Writing gives me a worthwhile outlet for these ideas, and it also spares my family from listening to every single thought that passes through my brain.
More seriously (and also just as factually), I am a former teacher, both in a classroom and at home. My original word puzzles and kids trivia columns have appeared in newspapers. My latest adventure is a brand-new website, www.spelling-words-well.com. I'm also still writing word puzzles for www.word-game-world.com as I continue to write for educational magazines.
I've written over 60 educational books and products for several major publishers. Reproducible books cover topics from reading to research, from trivia to tricky math puzzles and are geared for every age from preschoolers to adults. Other products include poster papers, bulletin board books, and card decks. I've dabbled in greeting card verses and religious non-fiction as well.
See what I mean about lots of ideas?????
