This engaging, Spanish-translated title shows children two-dimensional shapes typically found in a school. Find circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares! Young readers will also be introduced to the concept of equality through early STEM concepts by adding triangles into a square. This book encourages readers to think about geometry at their own schools, making finding shapes fun and easy with familiar images, engaging practice problems, and helpful mathematical diagrams.
All students can learn about geometric patterns through text written at four different reading levels. Symbols on the pages represent reading-level ranges to help differentiate instruction. Provided comprehension questions complement the text.
There is no question about it: character counts. But how can a square, rectangle, and diamond help make a childs behavior sparkle? Carole Cliffe, an award-winning educator, integrates geometric shapes, eye-catching illustrations, and clever interactive activities to inspire kids to shape their characterone letter at a time. While encouraging positive character traits such as cooperation, gratitude, patience, respect, and trust, Mrs. Cliffe helps children heighten math skills and become socially responsible citizens. Shaping Up Your Character A to ZMathematically is aligned with common core curriculum standards. Combining Math and Morals throughout this book will help to inspire children to make the world a better place and will enhance their mathematic skills. Carole Cliffes book infuses character traits of cooperation, academic excellence, responsibility, and respect while addressing our math standards. Janene Maxon, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, Castaic Union School District Carole takes familiar shapes and terms and links them to character traits that model appropriate behavior. I cant think of a better way to assist kids in making wise choices. Betsy Letzo, Retired Principal, Sulphur Springs School District By integrating character education and math figures, Carole grasps and holds students attention. Appealing to the creative side in all of us, her unique combination captures the essence of learning, while instilling sound moral character in the student. Susan L.

The ladder to success is a lot easier to climb without the excess baggage of flabby arms, chests, and waist. Furthermore, the increased stress that arises from increasing business responsibilities can be more readily overcome by a man who is in peak shape than one who isn’t. Just as hard work in the business world can be its own reward, so is working out. In fact, shaping up not only ensures robust health and a longer life, but it improves a man’s ability to bring about and enjoy business success by looking good, feeling good, and making good impressions on business colleagues. The Businessman’s Minutes-a-Day Guide To Shaping Up is more than another book of exercise and diet tips. It addresses the problems a businessman faces in finding time to exercise, in setting goals for training, and in changing eating habits that make gaining or losing weight difficult. The Businessman’s Minutes-a-Day Guide To Shaping Up includes: • exercise programs developed for a variety of needs and body structures • knowledgeable recommendations on training equipment and on training at home, at a gym, or on the road • training programs for improved sports performance • expert advice on the prevention and treatment of training injuries, jet lag, stress and anxiety, and even eye strain • a primer on the basics of nutrition, proper food combining, and vitamin and mineral supplementation • an account of one businessman’s training under Dr. Columbu’s direction that provides valuable insights on sticking to a training program, managing time, and setting goals
This learning contract lesson allows learners to work at their own paces in a flexible learning environment. Written specifically for mathematics teachers, this lesson helps facilitate the understanding and process of writing learning contracts.
Shaping Up is more personal and intimate than the author's previous works. The poems and images reflect a period while he was living outside of Zimbabwe, in South Africa. The immigrant experience gives the work a more personal, closed, abstracted feel driven by loneliness of the exilitic condition. Living in the element, uninhibited and careless can help deal with confounding, controversial issues more easily, this theme can be dissected from the drawings to do with sex, sexuality and gender issues. The line breaks, whirls, thins out, sometimes is bold, sometimes is barely there, thus the drawings straddle the tenuousness of time and life.
