Children look at themselves and their classmates and explore similarities and differences in such characteristics as height, eye color, and hand size. They become aware of how they are similar to those children they may see as different because of a physical characteristic (such as skin color) and how they are different from those children they may otherwise see as similar
This module helps to create a positive, supportive atmosphere in which children can realize and appr

In 1966, with no experience or formal scientific training, Dian Fossey left the United States and set up her gorilla observation camp in the Virunga mountains of Africa. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Louis Leakey, the 34-year-old Fossey had embarked on a 19-year project that began as a field study of gorillas but expanded into a labor of love and a mission to protect the magnificent species from extinction. No human ever came closer to the mysterious mountain gorillas than Fossey; but as her relationship with th
This unit provides an introduction to fractions, focusing on the meaning of mathematical operations in contextual situations rather than learning algorithms to perform computations. Students will learn the relative sizes of fractions and make estimates based on their mathematical thinking when ordering, comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing two or more fractions.
