This kindergarten unit in the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series introduces the 5- and 10-bead Mathracks(TM). The unit builds on children's innate ability to subitize small amounts (1, 2, and 3) and uses it to develop the five-structure, eventually supporting children to see 5 inside of 7, and 5 inside of 8, for example. In the second week of the unit the 10-structure is developed, first as 5+5, and then relationships between equivalent facts are explored and developed using compensation and associativity, for example, 3+7=4+6=5+5.

Building Benches and Measuring Tools is a new third grade unit in the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series. The mathematical focus of the unit is the early development of fractions, using a measurement context. The unit also promotes the development of the double number line model. Building Benches and Measuring Tools is designed to promote mathematical inquiry and to encourage children to become excited about being a mathematician. A read-aloud for the development of the realistic contexts used for the inquiries is included in the Appendix.
