In this unit, students represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols, they come to understand the basic notions of equality and equivalent expressions through informal problem-solving. They learn how variables are used to represent change in quantities and also to represent a specific unknown in an equation.
The Teacher Guide is designed to provide background information on the mathematics being taught in this unit, the learning environment, mathematical communication, and differentiated instruction. Also included:
Readers will grow in their understanding of the use of metaphors, foreshadowing, and symbols in My Daniel, Julia Creath, the story of a grandmother visiting her grandchildren in New York City for the first time, reliving her childhood adventures.

Level 3-4 is divided into three activity sections: geometry, algebraic thinking, and multiplication. Each section begins with an Anchor Activity followed by five or six further explorations and extensions that are connected in some way to the Anchor.
Shape Sleuths strengthens understanding of geometric shapes in all orientations with a focus on area and perimeter.
The Student Mathematician’s Journal presents simulated or real-life problems that encourage students to think, write, and read like mathematicians. They are asked to reflect on what they have learned and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, Students explore two- and three-dimensional shapes and the relationships among them. The reasoning and spatial-sense skills they use will hel
