Collection of Math Lessons, A: Grades 6-8

I teach 5th and 6th grade GATE (Gifted Students) and was looking for lessons that we could do as a supplement to our standards-based curriculum. I want my students to have fun with lessons but still have them tied to the standards and force them to think "outside the box." I've used more than a few lessons out of here and have had compliments from students who like the group work.Just a tip: this is not a "lesson plan" book, she will describe in vignettes how she taught lessons. So you really have to read the lessons carefully and decide how you will teach the lesson. Takes a lot more thought than today's scripted teacher books!

This book is definitely used, but I love it. This is a great book to use to teach the mathematical practices in the Common Core Standards. I use these activities during my 15 minute number talk each day. It usually takes us a week to do each lesson.

as I was exploring teaching math in primary grades when I ordered it. It looks like an excellent collection of ideas for math lessons for the age group.

All math teachers should read this book. Mandatory if the math teacher wants to improve their problem-solving classes. Expecting more books with other mathematical topics.

Great oldie but goody. Pi lesson is very helpful.

Awesome
