Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie in Fraction City is the latest children's story in the Math MileMarkers(r) book series. This cheerful story uncovers the secret to an in-depth understanding of fractions. It's generally the parts of fractions that get all the attention, but this simple kid-friendly story seeks to set the record straight by identifying the true hero in fraction world, the whole. Math MileMarkers has created an endearing story that addresses some of the foundational skills introduced in the Number and Operations-Fractions, many of which are often misunderstood. In this adventure, a group of lively soon to be unit fractions set out to find their place as part of a whole. Charlie, a highly recognized whole club president, is there to help each fractional piece understand what it takes to be a unit fraction. In doing so, these fractional characters uncover key terms in the fraction world and learn that they really don't know their true value until they find their place as part of a whole. All books in the Math MileMarker series come with an educational component that identifies the learning standards addressed within the story and a narrative outlining the mathematical journey children will take as their learning progresses. Each book closes with a Math MileMarkers section which contains a task or question that a child might encounter related to each standard or mathematical skill. Math MileMarkers were designed to help parents and educators better navigate a child's journey thus helping them successfully arrive at their destination, prepared to take on the challenges of the road ahead. Other books in the series: Miss Penny Says Prove It! and On My Way to Grandma's House. Math MileMarkers: Calm, Command and Conquer the Curriculum(r) A Message to Teachers It is important for readers to know that the Math MileMarkers series was developed to be an instructional tool and not just a read-aloud story. A true curriculum companion to any resource, Math MileMarkers adventures help elementary teachers to unfold the learning standards and high- light key concepts that begin in Kindergarten and connect and resurface through Grade 5 and beyond. Readers should enter these stories asking themselves with each turned page, "What is the math?" You will notice that the characters and illustrations offer visual supports and conversational prompts that children can relate to. Educators are encouraged to take full advantage of the "math talk" opportunities that surface, stopping often to allow the full message and visual models embedded within, to anchor student learning. Equally important, these stories promote the Standards for Mathematical Practice, which includes problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and making connections. The educational guide offered at the conclusion of each story streamlines important information about best instructional practices, describes the progression of learning that takes place during the elementary years, and outlines misconceptions students typically voice, with real classroom experiences as a frame of reference. In order to fully uncover the in-depth understandings called for in today's mathematical world, we connect each story to specific common core standards that outline what students should know or be able to do at each level within a specific topic. If you are not living in a state that embraces the common core standards, we would be happy to provide you with the Math MileMarkers questions aligned to your specific state standards. Simply contact us and provide your name, email address and state of residency ([email protected], or at www.mathmilemarkers.com). Be sure to also include the name of the Math MileMarkers book you are exploring. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your mathematical journey. I hope the Math MileMarkers series helps elevate math learning to a new level in your classroom and makes instructional time for teachers and students more meaningful and fun

The language is appropriate for second and third graders but can easily be read to younger students or used as an independent read for older students ... Additional supporting information offers a continuum of fractions as an overview by grade level, first to fifth, as well as examples of problems that align with the Common Core learning standards for teachers to review"--From www.nctm.org.

Download or read book Charles M Russell written by Raphael James Cristy and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known for his sketches, paintings, and sculptures of the Old West, Charles M. Russell (1864-1926) was also an accomplished author in the humorous genre known as "local color." Raphael Cristy sorts Russell's writings into four general categories: serious Indian stories, men encountering wildlife, cattle range characters, and nineteenth-century westerners facing twentieth-century challenges. Russell's art is often misinterpreted as mere longing for a fading open-range west, but his writings tell a different story. Cristy shows how Russell amused his peers with stories that also delivered sharp observations of Euro-American suppression of Indians and humorous treatment of wilderness and range issues plus the emergence of women and urbanization as bewildering agents of change in the modern West. "A welcome departure from the usual biographies and coffee table volumes on Russell and his art. . . . [Cristy] deals with an important, yet relatively unexplored, aspect of the career of one of the most influential interpreters of the American West."--Byron Price, Director, C. M. Russell Center for the Study of Art

Download or read book Nineteenth Century Southern Gothic Short Fiction written by Charles L. Crow and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve Gothic tales of this collection span the nineteenth-century South and are from some of the most famous writers of the age, such as Edgar Allan Poe, to more recently rediscovered and now celebrated writers such as Kate Chopin and Charles Chesnutt, to the completely and unfairly obscure E. Levi Brown. Companion readings—some themselves quite chilling—are by celebrated writers and well-known historical figures, such as Thomas Jefferson, Charles Brockden Brown, Jacques Dessalines, and W. E. B DuBois. These readings place the fiction in the context of the South and the Caribbean: the revolution in Haiti, Nat Turner’s rebellion, the realities of slavery and the myths spun by its apologists, the aftermath of the Civil War, and the brutalities of Jim Crow laws.

Download or read book The Portable American Realism Reader written by Various and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the pivotal period of America's international emergence, between the Civil War and WWI, the aligned literary movements of Realism and Naturalism not only shaped the national literature of the age, but also left an indelible and far-reaching influence on twentieth-century American and world literature. Seeking to strip narrative from pious sentimentalities, and, according to William Dean Howells, to "paint life as it is, and human feelings in their true proportion and relation," Realism is best represented by this volume's masterly pieces by Twain, Henry James, Stephen Crane, Kate Chopin, and Willa Cather among others. The joining of Realist methods with the theories of Marx, Darwin, and Spencer to reveal the larger forces (biological, evolutionary, historical) which move humankind, are exemplified here in the fiction of such writers as Jack London, Frank Norris, and Theodore Dreiser.

Download or read book The City on Display written by Joel Robinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City on Display: Architecture Festivals and the Urban Commons reflects on the biennials, triennials, and other festivals of architecture and design that have been held over the last two decades, as they expand and transform in response to the exigencies of ‘planetary urbanisation’. Joel Robinson examines the development of these large-scale, international, and perennial exhibitions as they address such challenges as urban regeneration, heritage preservation, climate change, and the migration crisis. Homing in on examples of festivals in Venice, Rotterdam, Oslo, Tallinn, Sharjah, Seoul, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, the author describes how they alter the public spaces that host them, either through civic boosterism and gentrification, on the one hand, or through a reassertion of the urban commons and the right to the city, on the other hand. He attempts to thematise the architecture festival's relationship with the city and interrogate its potential as a forum for global debate about the emergencies of the urban condition. This book will be beneficial for students and academics of architecture and urbanism, and especially those who have an interest in how the city gets exhibited at such festivals and even reimagined as something other than it currently is.
