Two map posters are provided. Younger children can use a neighborhood map to locate information and trace paths, while older children can use a wilderness map to read scales. The emphasis is on problem solving with both maps. (MNS)

License plates are used to give students experiences in solving problems, following directions, developing numeracy, and writing number sentences. Four activities for different levels are given on the four worksheets. (MNS)

Metric measurement activities are given, offering many opportunities for measurement and comparison with measurements. Experiences in measuring with a tape measure are directed at Levels One to Three, while experiences in estimating, measuring, computing area and volume, and ratio are included for Levels Four to Eight. (MNS)

Students are given the opportunity to deal with many kinds of data as they make graphs and interpret the results of polls. Worksheets are provided on filling in a graph grid and making bar and circle graphs as well as interpreting each. (MNS)

Four worksheets on shapes are provided. Identifying common shapes in objects is the focus for levels K-2; for levels 3-4, characteristics of simple closed figures and their areas; for levels 5-6, identifying geometric figures given area and finding the area; and for levels 7-8, finding areas and perimeters. (MNS)

The calendar provides elementary mathematics students with open-ended questions intended to engage them mathematically in high-interest activities. No answers are provided so that students are encouraged to look alone, or in small groups, for significant mathematical evidence to develop confidence and the necessary critical thinking skills. (JJK)

Helping students solve logic problems using properties of whole numbers in levels 1-6 and properties of positive and negative rational numbers in levels 7-8 is presented. Four worksheets and teaching suggestions are included. (MNS)

Four worksheets and teaching suggestions are presented, with the focus on mental computation for levels 2-3; factors, levels 3-4; and nonroutine problems, levels 5-6 and 7-8. (MNS)

Worksheets are given which involve activities using newspapers to find information and use it in problem solving. Recognition of numerals, price comparisons, writing a sports problem based on a picture, and finding ratios are included. (MNS)

Four worksheets are included, providing practice in estimation, computation, pattern recognition, and problem solving involving calculator use. (MNS)

Four worksheets are provided for developing decimal concepts. For levels 1-2, dollars and cents is the focus; for levels 4-5, tenths and hundredths; for levels 5-7, comparing and ordering decimals; and for levels 6-8, estimating with decimals. Teaching suggestions are included. (MNS)

Four worksheets for levels one-eight are included. Practice on addition, multiplication, fractions and decimals, and integers is provided through activities involving puzzling patterns. (MNS)

Reptiles are used as a theme on four worksheets for practicing skills in computation, measurement, comparison, reading, and problem solving. (MNS)

Ten activities that give learners in grades 5-8 a chance to explore mathematics with calculators are provided. The activity cards involve such topics as odd addends, magic squares, strange projects, and conjecturing rules. (MNS)

The focus here is on the students' uses for numbers in both school and home settings. The included activities emphasize a growth and development theme involving various aspects of data collection, data interpretation, probability, and statistics. Also included are parent-child extended activity worksheets. (JJK)
