The world lies devastated after the massive oil crisis that was described in LAST LIGHT. Human society has more or less entirely broken down and millions lie dead of starvation and disease. There are only one or two beacon communities that have managed to fashion a new way of living.Jenny Sutherland runs one of these groups. Based on a series of decaying offshore oil-rigs - for safety - a few hundred people have rebuilt a semblance of normality in this otherwise dead world.But as her and her people start to explore their surroundings once again, they start to realise not every survivor has the same vision of a better future than their catastrophic past. There are people out there who would take everything they have. War is coming, and the stakes are truly massive...

Offers forty reproducible mystery stories to help students build skills in multiplaction, division, decimals, fractions, mental math, probability, and geometry.

Kids stop, think, and predict as they solve skill-building word problems.

for two violas or small string ensemble Inspired by Minsky's hike through the terrain of the Pacific Northwest, performers will feel as though they made the trip with him. The three movements cover the styles of Bluegrass, American Waltz, and Blues Rock.

Help middle schoolers engage in the classroom before it’s too late! For many educators, middle school is the last chance to put in place strong, positive learning patterns that will last through high school and beyond. Based on Rich Allen’s “Green Light” education strategies, this book takes what researchers have discovered about how the adolescent brain learns best and shows how those discoveries directly relate to effective classroom teaching. Now you can engage all students, even unmotivated ones, by applying these four principles of brain-based learning: Build and maintain trust Create a collaborative community Take a TEAMing approach Prime the positive environment

This book contains 101 classroom-tested, easy-to-implement strategies. Well-indexed, it provides teachers with easy access to a variety of ideas to help out in different problem areas. Strategies are arranged by grade level within each of the following sections: Classroom Management, Community Building, Teacher's Toolbox, Literacy, Math, and Assessment. Also includes helpful graphics, time-saving reproducibles, and a comprehensive resource list.

The Classroom Mathematics Inventory, (CMI) is an informal assessment for use in evaluating students understanding and ability across the range of the elementary mathematics curriculum. Similar to an informal reading inventory, the CMI is an informal classroom assessment tool meant to spark conversations between teacher and student regarding the student's understanding, skills, and attitudes. Using the scripted protocols and included manipulatives, the CMI aids teachers in determining students' performance across the strands of mathematics including: number; extended work with number; algebra; geometry; measurement; and data analysis, statistics, and probability. Additionally, protocols address students' attitudes and mathematical dispositions, as well as their mathematical processes such as problem solving.

Reproducible worksheets cover the concepts and skills identified by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics as curriculum focal points for grades four through eight.

Contains reproducible activity pages designed to help third grade students build skills in mathematics for standardized tests and to meet the Common Core State Standards.

Comprehensive assortment of problems span the curriculum! Presented in a unique "Task Card" layout, problems are grouped by solution times 5, 10 or 15 minutes. The "Task Cards" can be copied, cut, laminated and organized in a variety of manners based upon content and skill level.
