Topics such as adding and subtracting within 20, using algebraic principles to solve equations and word problems, and understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction will give beginning math students a firm grasp on basic math concepts. Readers will practice subtracting within 20 at a book sale, where books flying off the shelves become the factors in subtraction equations. This volume satisfies CCSS Math Standard 1.OA.A.1.

From Library Journal: Thirty-seven public, school, and academic librarians here share "how we did outreach good" and produce a joyful collection. These examples will inspire and fire up staff involved with event planning, programming, and extending their library's presence and effectiveness in the community. Beyond a bounty of ideas are practical suggestions and examples that can be used for the library to approach organizations, groups, and governmental entities for grant applications. While the creative is foremost, the financial and efficient are also addressed with the essential details of who did what, how it was funded, and the nature of follow-up. This reviewer's favorite example-the Edible Book Contest-comes complete with advice on cleanup and disasters. VERDICT Success always requires resources, dedication, and much planning, but even the smallest library with a handful of staff could benefit from this book. Wherever there is a need to increase awareness of library services in the community or reach out to groups that are under utilizing your library, this handbook can be useful.-J. Sara Paulk, Fitzgerald.

Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education offers pre- and in-service educators the opportunity to analyze and reflect upon a variety of real-life scenarios related to educational equity and social justice. The accessibly written cases allow educators to practice considering a range of contextual factors, check their own biases, and make immediate and longer-term decisions about how to create and sustain equitable learning environments for all students. Unique to this case study collection is a section of expert insights related to each case and a seven-point process for examining case studies. This framework guides readers through the process of identifying, examining, reflecting on, and taking concrete steps to resolve inequities and injustice in schools. Features of the third edition include: 10 new case studies and updates to existing cases that reflect societal contexts; A series of questions to guide discussions for each case; and A section of facilitator notes called "Points for Consideration" that provide valuable insight for understanding how inequity is operating in each case. The cases themselves present everyday examples of the ways in which racism, sexism, cisgenderism, homophobia and heterosexism, class inequities, language bias, religious-based oppression, and other equity and diversity concerns affect students, teachers, families, and other members of our school communities. They involve classroom, school, and district issues that are relevant to all grade levels and content areas, allowing significant flexibility in how and with whom they are used.
