Kids Discover the Value of Learning Through Hands-On 'Hammer' Time When master carpenter Perry Wilson showed his friend's son how to build a tree house, he discovered that he was really teaching the child the value of mathematics. The task brought to mind his own struggles with a learning disability and the failure of his school to help him realize his potential. As a result, Wilson quit his job and established If I Had a Hammer, a program that uses alternative methods, specifically the construction of a small house, to show kids how to put the material they are learning in school to work.

Summary Kids@work: Math in the Cyberzone, available in student book and teacher book, takes basic math concepts and places them in real world contexts. The interactive website that accompanies these books provides many opportunities for performance-based activities, inquiry and discovery. The book provides students with math activities that take advantage of the Internet as a learning and communication tool. Students are excited about doing math activities when they work together with online peers. The Student's Message Center provides a vehicle for students to discuss strategies for solving problems with each other and to interact with the author. Together these students become active participants in creating knowledge as they gather data, organize it into meaningful information, display and analyze the information and arrive at meaningful insights. Teachers will find strategies that bring together math concepts, inquiry, technology, collaborative learning and real world meanings in the classroom while addressing learner outcomes required by curriculum guides. When using the Teacher's Message Center, teachers will build a virtual learning community where they can find support from other teachers around the world as well as the author. Teachers are encouraged to share their best practices to ensure that our website will grow in value over time. The title, Kids@work: Math in the Cyberzone, was not carelessly chosen. Learning requires work yet students will find that learning is enjoyable when it is meaningful for them. Each activity is designed to keep students "on task" while they are "on-line."

CM . . . . Volume V Number 9 . . . . January 1, 1999 Think Sports: Challenging Activities Based on Popular Sports and Famous Athletes. Kenneth Swan. Winnipeg, MB: Peguis Publishers, 1998. 104 pp., paper, $17.00. ISBN 1-895411-88-2. Grades 4 - 8 / Ages 9 - 13 and Professional Reading. Review by Gail Hamilton. excerpt: Students are more likely to learn if they are interested in what they are learning about and they see a relationship between what is being taught and their world. For many, the "real world" is one in which sports is a major influence. It makes sense then, to use this world to teach the concepts of the curriculum. Ninety activities, relating sports to language arts, math, social studies, science, health and art, are presented in blackline master format in this coilbound book. The activities are designed to motivate reluctant learners from a variety of backgrounds, to encourage student discussion and cooperation both in small and large group settings, and to foster independent learning. What the author assumes is that an interest in sports is common to almost all kids. There are a great many activities from which to choose, but none of them is grade-specific, nor are any concepts covered in depth. Therefore, teachers looking to supplement their math unit on averages, for example, will be able to find only a single worksheet devoted to this topic and might, in fact, have to adapt it to suit the ability level of their class. And, though Swan claims in his "Introduction" that he has considered the variety of students' backgrounds, including socio-economic, he includes several activities which require students to have access to a television or daily newspaper or actually to participate in organized sports outside of school.

College Place Middle School Math Department Anne Waibler Julie Bynum Deanna Perry Alaine Davis Stephanie Osaki Janette Jess Math Level 1 Integrated Math I Integrated Mathematics 1 is a year-long high school credit course that replaces traditional Algebra. It is intended for those 7 th grade students who have demonstrated exceptional performance in math, and students must apply, test, and be selected into the program. This course is the first year of a four-year sequence of integrated, standards-based mathematics courses. The course represents a departure from a skills-based curriculum, in which skills are taught in isolation, towards a problem-based curriculum in which skills and concepts serve as tools for solving problems. Students will learn algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and discrete mathematics in real-world contexts. Units of study include Patterns in Data, Patterns of Change, Linear Models, Graph Models, Patterns in Space and Visualization, Exponential Models, and Simulation Modes. Math Level 2 Integrated Math II th Grade Block Options Math/Science Block The 7 th grade Math/Science Block provides opportunities for students to increase understanding through longer time blocks, every other day. This facilitates hands-on, integrated learning with the ability to start and finish a science lab or math exploration within a 100-minute time block. Integrating science and math curricula allows students to make connections and apply knowledge and skills to out of school experiences.
