Snow Treasure tells the story of a small Norwegian village, Riswyk, whose residents are determined to protect their country’s money from the invading Germans during World War II. The people of the village devise a scheme to smuggle 13 tons of gold bullion out of Norway to be stowed safely in the United States. Their plan relies on the courage of all the villagers, the weather, and the hope that the German sentries will not be suspicious of children with sleds. Readers will have the opportunity to learn and investigate different techniques which Marie McSwigan uses to create su
This unit is designed to support students in understanding the COVID-19 pandemic, transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and the impacts of the pandemic on communities, especially communities of color. Specific learning targets are listed at the beginning of each lesson and highlight a core idea for the lesson, the science and engineering practice students will engage in, and the crosscutting concept students will use in the lesson. There are four broad areas of learning goals targeted in this unit:<
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.
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:
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 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
