This book is designed to help teachers and students understand the meaning of operations in a coherent way that makes sense as students move from whole numbers to fractions, decimals, and integers.

Help students reveal the math behind the words Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution.  Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem’s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it. This user-friendly resource for Grades K-2 ·         Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems ·         Provides specific examples of questions and explorations for addition and subtraction of whole numbers as well as early thinking for multiplication and division ·         Demonstrates the use of concrete manipulatives to model problems with dozens of short videos

With 25 quick and easy punch needle designs, this book is great way to learn the craft or challenge yourself with a new design idea.

In this riveting novel full of imaginative art world revelations, betrayals, and twists, an aspiring art historian leaves her troubled parents to study in New York where she struggles to impress her misogynist advisor- until she discovers a hidden painting and flees to Spain to prove it's a masterpiece.
