A companion series to our "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students," the series "Math Challenges for Gifted Students" offers additional material in practice test form. The workbooks are useful for assessment and for development of testing skills. In full color and with fully detailed solutions, the workbooks may be used as a fun introduction to competitive problem solving. However, the problems are a bit more difficult than actual Kangaroo problems, exploring a large number of known 'tips and tricks.' One could say it is much more concentrated in that, unlike actual exams, it has less 'filler' - almost every problem is 'tricky' and embodies a specific strategy. The material is excellent for training purposes and has been used by the authors in seminars with hundreds of the most gifted students in the Bay Area. The workbook contains six 24-question tests. After each test there is an answer key. The tests are followed by detailed solutions. The recommended time limit for each test is of 75 minutes. Students who have not been exposed to competitive problem solving will find this book extremely difficult and will need help from an adult. Without preparation, students who get 'A' in school generally score about 50 points out of 96 possible on Kangaroo level 1-2.

"Teaching Character in the Primary Classroom provides an excellent and very accessible overview of the emerging field of character education. It covers, in detail, the theory of character education as well as advice and guidance about how this should be applied in practice in primary schools." Professor James Arthur, University of Birmingham Character matters. As more and more schools are choosing to teach Character Education, trainee and beginning teachers need to know more. What is Character Education? Can it really be ′taught′? How does children′s learning benefit from discussions around character in the classroom? How do I teach it? What does good teaching of Character Education look like in the classroom? Teaching Character Education in Primary schools tackles these questions, and many more. This is a practical guide to why and how we can teach character in primary schools. It begins by exploring why character matters and considers what ′character′ is and (importantly) what it is not. It goes on to discuss the place for teaching character in primary education and includes practical guidance on how it can be taught. The text also looks at character beyond the classroom, how parents and the wider community can be included in the teaching of character and how outdoor learning and education can contribute. This book is written for all those who are new to teaching character.

Freddy Dissel has two problems. One is his older brother, Mike. The other is his younger sister, Ellen. That leaves Freddy in the middle, feeling like the peanut butter part of a sandwich, squeezed between two pieces of bread like a great big middle nothing. So when Freddy hears about the school play, he knows it’s his chance to shine—even if the play is being put on by the big kids, and even if Mike says that everybody can jump. But nobody can jump quite as well as Freddy, which makes him the perfect Green Kangaroo—and the star of the show!

The Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary School are open mathematical Olympiads for students from 1st to 4th grade of elementary school, and they have been held every year in the city of Moscow since 1996, their first editions taking place in the facilities of the Moscow State University - Maly Mekhmat. Although initially these Olympiads were conceived for students of a study circle of elementary school, then it was extended to students in general since 2005. Being the Technological University of Russia - MIREA its main headquarters today. Likewise, these Olympiads consist of two rounds, a qualifying round and a final round, both consisting of a written exam. The problems included in this book correspond to the final round of these Olympiads, for the 2nd grade of elementary school. In this workbook has been compiled all the Olympiads held during the years 2011-2020 and is especially aimed at schoolchildren between 7 and 8 years old, with the aim that any student interested in mathematics either in preparing for a competition or in simply practicing entertaining problems to improve his math skills, challenging himself to solve these interesting problems (recommended even to elementary school children in upper grades with little or no experience in Math Olympiads and who require comprehensive preparation before a competition); or it could even be used for a self-evaluation in this competition, trying the student to solve the greatest number of problems in each exam in a maximum time of 1.5 hours. It can also be useful for teachers, parents, and study circles in mathematics. The book has been carefully crafted so that the student can work on the same book without the need for additional sheets. What will allow the student to have an orderly record of the problems already solved. Each exam includes a set of 8 problems from different school math topics. To be able to face these problems successfully, no greater knowledge is required than that covered in the school curriculum; however, many of these problems require an ingenious approach to be tackled successfully. Students are encouraged to keep trying to solve each problem as a personal challenge, as many times as necessary; and to parents who continue to support their children in their disciplined preparation. Once an answer is obtained, you can check it against the answers given at the end of the book.
