This book is about a boy named Samuel who makes a series of money trades. It can be used to learn about the value of one-dollar bills and coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies) at a more concrete level. It may be used to accommodate for specific needs and learning styles. It provides a model to represent coin values proportionally, which teachers, tutors, and parents will find very useful in helping kids learn about coin values, and problem solving. The proportional coin kit can be used with this book and other coin activities, with or without regular coins. You can make four copies of the coin kit (in color if possible) on cardboard and have your own proportional coin set for a dollar. Students' drawings may be used to support the use of the proportional coins at the representational level. Mathematical sentences or equations may accompany learning activities to help them make connection with the abstract level. Eventually, the students will not need to use the proportional coins anymore.

Mathematics can be fun and exciting if we as teachers make it exciting and fun for our students. Our goal, as authors of this book, is to help you find creative ways to bring enjoyable mathematics material into your classroom. TAG - Tricks, Activities, and Games are ideas that we have implemented in our own teaching to help students explore, discover, conjecture, investigate, verify, explain, and understand middle school mathematics in a creative and motivating way. It is important to arouse each student's curiosity by presenting mathematics in fresh and stimulating ways that are captivating and motivating. The ideas presented in this book are designed to help students become powerful mathematics thinkers and to help them make sense out of mathematics. Based on the NCTM Standards and NCTM's new Focal Points, we have emphasized Number and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, and Data Analysis and Probability. We have provided objectives, materials, procedures, and solutions to the entries.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
