Math
doesn't really need a great deal of description. What can you say about
division? It's not like division and fractions have had an interesting
life like Helen of Troy, the Roman Gladiator, and the word processing
department, or that percents and rulers are a barrel of laughs like the Great
Plains. Math is just math. Our math materials assume that if a
problem consists of anything more than one number printed on a 16x44 glossy,
your students are going to need plenty of practice.
Below are our math materials. All are sequenced, repetitive, and boring. All are reproducible unless specified and come with answer keys.
SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR MATH
guide/reference ...$25.00
This student-friendly, classroom tested,
math reference book was written by new author Mary Cholodenko, who used her own
experiences as a classroom teacher to create this math reference suitable for
students of varying skill levels in grades 7-12. Not to
be confused with a textbook or workbook, this is an "extreme notebook" designed
to be used in conjunction with any math textbook. In her Survival Guide
for Math, topics are clearly indicated at the top of each page.
Information has been purposely handwritten to appear less intimidating to
students and a "student-friendly" index gives them the ability to attain help
independently. Each page has been carefully designed to present the materials
in a non-threatening, visually pleasing format that will grab students' interest
and help them comprehend important concepts, develop strategies for approaching
math problems, address common misconceptions, attain memory tricks, and relearn
basic skills and concepts that were not internalized in earlier grades. With a struggling math student in
mind, Ms. Cholodenko has designed a "must-have" reference using graphic
organizers, everyday language, cartoons and examples to further increase
comprehension of the presented material. Order one for each student as the
Survival Guide for Math is not
reproducible. Over 200 pages and chapters include Numbers, Polynomials,
Factoring, Solving Equations, Graphing, Algebraic Fractions, Radicals, Geometry,
Probability, Statistics, and Miscellaneous Topics. NOT REPRODUCIBLE.
MATH REFERENCE FOR MIDDLE GRADES

covering one or two concepts. The first part of each lesson is a
step-by-step guide with examples of how to solve problems. In the last
section students practice and apply what they've learned. Includes
glossary and CD ROM with extra practice problems. Correlated with NCTM
standards.
