HSP Math- 1st Grade Teacher Edition

ISBN # 978-0-15-342546 Copyright 2009 1st Edition Harcourt School Publishers Authors: Evan M. Maletsky and Joyce McLeod Price: $41.33- [|Buy Here] More: Product Dimensions: 12 x 9 x 1.2 inches, Shipping Weight: 3.4 pounds, purchase with supplementary workbook 1. Harcourt School Publishers has had many terrific textbooks over the years. They are one of the leading publishers in school textbooks today, and have offered a wide array of subject content for both teachers and students. This 1st grade math book is no different. In this textbook there are a number of lesson plans over many items. It addresses the third and fourth unit of the year, which mainly deals with Geometry. There are lesson involving sorting and classifying of shapes and color, recognizing shape patterns, and learning how to count by groups. There are many helpful resources in the book such as ideas for ESL learners, differentiated learners, and high level learners. It has multiple ideas for each lesson, and includes detailed instruction for each idea.

2. Instead of having the students learn skip counting ( or counting in groups of 5, 10, or 50) by having them use worksheets out of the book, there are many resources that you could use online such as [|The Ants Go Marching Interactive Counting Story], or using animals to count with [|Drew's Animals]. When dealing with sorting and classifying shapes and colors, [|Maths Zone] has over 15 interactive games that can help kids identify shapes, instead of circling them on a sheet of paper. Finally, when dealing with recognizing shape patterns, [|Primary Games] and [|Pattern Blocks] have some fun ways of rearranging shape patterns in a game format.

3. We truly believe that although there are many, many resources online for every subject imaginable, especially mathematics, textbooks are still a necessary tool. They may cost a fortune, and are heavy to carry, but they are a wealth of information that has already been organized for you. Many teachers are already struggling to find time to eat dinner, let alone find new ideas for every lesson, so textbooks provide a way to save time. They are already planned out in units and lessons, and have suggestions for ESL and differentiated learners. While the teacher still needs to deviate from the book for specific topics, the textbook provides a great starting block for instruction. By no means are we saying to exclude the internet. It has numerous resources and fun activities for the classroom, and kids love to use it. We believe it is best to use both the textbook and the resources from the internet to create the best learning environment for our students.

This book would be at about a kindergarten and first grade level. This book talks about basic math skills. Such examples are counting to 20, telling time, learning about money, place value and introduction to addition and subtraction. 2. -To supplement lessons about time, the website [|http://www.timemonsters.com]/ would work better because the students can actually manipulate the time themselves. They also can hear how to correctly pronounce the time, and learn further on how to tell time by quarters and halves. It is also in a kid friendly format that is engaging and interactive for them to learn. -With addition lessons, the use of manipulatives is a must. The website [] allows the student to use these. It gives a problem with circles underneath for the students to use to solve the problem. They are converting the problem to a picture problem that is easier for them to solve. -Money can be difficult thing for students to understand. However, once they know how much each coin is worth, they can compute an amount. With this site, [|http://www.toonuniversity.com/flash.asp?err=569&engine=], the students can make the exact amount asked for, with just coins. It is a fun interactive game and the students would be more interested in using that then doing a worksheet. **3.** This would be more effective then what the book was using because the students can explore it on their own. But with these sites, the students can learn at their own pace, and pick the way they want to learn it. For example, with the addition site, the student may discover that they don’t need to use the circles to solve the problem, thus enhancing their knowledge about the topic. 4.

1. Chapter 10, Lesson 7. Volume of a prism. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to find the volume of a rectangular prism by using formulas and information from previous knowledge of the surface area of a rectangular prism. V= LxWxH 2. Upon completion of this lesson, students will: have been introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learned the terminology used with surface area and volume, and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/SurfaceAreaAndVolume/ 3. This website would be better for find the volume of a prism because it covers all information that was covered in the book as well as additional information. It allows students to interact with the prisms and its dimensions while calculating the actual volume. It offers worksheets, key terms, independent practice, as well as a formal way to close the lesson.

1. Chapter 3, Lesson 2. Measuring Metric Lengths. By the end of this lesson you will be able to use decimals to express metric measurements. 2. This site offers the same information that is in the textbook. Additionally, it offers a lesson plan, practice, learning, exploring, feedback, as well as lessons that should be taught previously and for upcoming lessons. It also offers a metric system unit converter, which can help the students throughout the lesson. http://www.aaamath.com/mea69x10.htm 3. This is a great tool for teachers to use in their classroom as an alternative to a textbook because this is free, unlike the $65.00 textbook. It offers not only the same information but a variety of additional resources and links to other websites.

1. Chapter 2, Lesson 7. Circle graphs. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to interpret circle graphs and make predictions, and visualize data as a whole group. 2. This site shows the learner how to view information and data as a whole by conduct a survey to form a circle graph. It offers activities, worksheets and extra help. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/CircleGraph/ 3. This website, which is the same site that was used in the first example, again offers great interactive tools for students to create and understand circle graphs/pie charts It offers the general information for the learner as well as an interactive activity that allows the student to actually make their own circle graph. 4.

ISBN: 978-0-07-873822-7 Publisher: Glencoe McGraw-Hill Website: [] Freshman level book (Secondary) Purchased at Amazon.com NEW $95.44 USED $93.45 //Glencoe Algebra 1// is a key program in our vertically aligned high school mathematics series developed to help all students achieve a better understanding of mathematics and improve their mathematics scores on today’s high-stakes assessments. 3 things we could find on the Internet instead of the book 1. Online worksheets to fill out 2. Study guides with guided practice, that gives you answers when done 3. Vocabulary and related activities that can be used in other subjects Advantage of using the Internet over the book 1.The Internet will give you more problems if a student needed more guided practice. 2. Print out actual worksheets to write on instead of copying from the book 3. interactive tools to help students understand topics easier ex. video Showing students fractions by cutting a pie into sections 4. internet provides students with a multilingual section where they can put it into a different language I feel like the website has so many more features than the book, the two together would work amazing together and would give students a better understanding of the topic that they were learning. Advantage of using the Book over the Internet 1. some students need the book in front of them 2. Study review at the end of each chapter 3. Gives test taking strategies 4. If students need have questions on a certain problem or section it provides them with a page number on where to find the extra help. Emily Haynes and Tracy Cook Mon. 10:30

ISBN #: 978-0-618-60635-1 Copyright date: 2007 Edition #: 4 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company Authors: Berresford and Rockett Price: $121.57 on [] Other info: approximately 3 lbs., 8 in. x 11 in. A solutions manual can also purchased for $55 at []

1. This text for the one- or two-semester applied or business calculus course uses intriguing real-world applications to engage students' interest and show them the practical side of calculus. Many applications are financial or business related, but many applications in this text cover general-interest topics as well, including the growing population of Africa, the composition of the Supreme Court, water shortage, the fastest pitch in baseball, and pollution and the depletion of natural resources. The Fourth Edition maintains the hallmark features that have made Applied Calculus so popular: contemporary and interesting applications; careful and effective use of technology, including integrated calculator coverage that is optional; constant pedagogical reinforcement through section summaries, chapter summaries, carefully annotated examples, and extra practice problems; and a variety of exercises and assignment options including exercise sets, projects, and essays. 2. [] (this site provides many links which a teacher could easily utilize in a math classroom) [] (this site gives tutorials and in-depth instruction of mathematical concepts) [] (this site provides many step-by-step instructions, problem solutions, and many problem sets) [] (this site provides a lot of tables and formulas) 3. We think that for this particular subject the calculus textbook is superior to using strictly online resources. Students are still going to need examples and direct instruction on mathematical concepts or application of formulas. Also, the key in the back of the book is useful for students to know if they are in fact doing their work correctly. If a teacher were to use online resources instead of a textbook we think that he or she would be printing out numerous handouts for instruction and many worksheets. Essentially, this would be the same as having a textbook. Students are still going to need a lot of problem sets and practice for subjects such as calculus, which a textbook provides. We see online resources as good supplements to textbooks, but feel they would not be best alone. Having to navigate between various websites and resources would be confusing and more time consuming for students. 4. Colby Heckathorne & Mallory Flatt (10:30 Monday)

[] - This website provides step by step examples of various algebraic equations that are incorporated in McDougal Littell’s book. [] - This websites has a plethora of links that involve the chapters and sections in our book. The website has preliminary, beginning, intermediate, and advanced algebra.

Reflection: We find that the internet is better because it gives you more opportunities to look at algebra from different peoples perspectives. After further research, we found that the book was actually available in a pdf file, but we were unable to open it. The book would be nice to have a few copies of as their always as the potential to have technical difficulties. The websites that we found also has interactive tools that the students could use on their own at their house if they need further assistance.
