This module, designed to be used for a season or throughout the year, begins with a trip outside to observe and describe the weather. Students then focus their attention on four elements of weather: cloud cover, temperature, wind, and rain.
Using their senses and simple tools, they describe, measure, and record data about each element and consider the impact of each on the environment. Students also use their data to make charts and look for patterns across days

The Student Mathematician’s Journal allows students to explore simulated or real-life problems and help them to think, write, and read like mathematicians. It encourages students to reflect on what they have learned in each lesson, think deeply about mathematics, and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students learn about algebra as a set of concepts tied to the representation of re
In this unit, students explore two- and three-dimensional shapes with a focus on their properties, relationships among them and spatial visualization. The reasoning skills that they build upon in this unit help them to develop an understanding of more complex geometric concepts.
