Here is a virtual gold mine of engaging materials that will bring students' understanding of mathematics to new and needed levels. These classroom-ready resources are specifically designed to help students meet the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) for grades 6-8. Included are 78 student-friendly Bloom Sheets. Each one calls for students to complete tasks that involve all six levels of learning as set forth in the classic Bloom's Taxonomy. Organized in sections aligned with the NCTM standards, these sheets can be used as class work, for enrichment or independent study, or as supplements in any math class or program - they also make great homework assignments for students to complete with the active involvement of their parents.
In addition, the timely volume contains a raft of related imaginative and engaging activities and alternative ways to assess learning in mathematics.
This book is the first in the Ignite series with comparable volumes on language arts, science, and social studies to follow.
