Teachable Moments 3-5

Mathematics: The Teachable Moment for Grades 3-5. This 800-page manual of teaching strategies includes a yearly plan for each grade level – set out month by month – with ideas for integrating number sense, problem solving, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and probability. Topics include: calendar time, place value, teaching basic facts, making change, using sports and the newspaper, using projects and games, and assessment – formatted to enable integration of all four curriculum strands throughout the year. The Yearly Plans can easily be integrated with any book or system teachers are currently using. Once teachers become familiar with this system, future curriculum will be easy to integrate because the teachers become confident of their own mathematical ability.
