The Illustrated Elements of Art & Principles of Design has been developed for young students with large full color reproductions and clear explanations of each concept. Introductions to the elements of art and principles of design describe each concept with colorful illustrations, artwork, and photographs. Each individual concept is followed by hands–on activities to reinforce the students' comprehension.

Practice, Assess, Diagnose. This series provides 180 daily practice activities to build and gauge students' mathematical fluency. Each problem is tied to a specific mathematical concept. Students gain regular practice through these quick, diagnostic-based activities. Data-driven assessment tips are provided, and the Teacher Resource CD includes assessment analysis resources. 208 pages + CD.

The first resource to provide students with guided science instruction using a daily practice format. Thirty weeks of 10 -to 15-minute lessons introduce students to standards-based scientific concepts while they seek answers to real-life questions about the world they live in. Covers Life, Earth, and Physical Sciences. 192 pages.

Critical thinking skills are more important than ever in academic and real-world situations.Daily Higher-Order Thinking provides you with daily activities that build and grow students' problem-solving skills in engaging formats such as logic and visual puzzles, brainteasers, creative writing, picture comparison, word play, and “what if” questions.

Daily 20-minute practice lessons help students apply critical thinking skills across subject areas. The lessons develop students' higher-order thinking skills and allow them to integrate their learning and make deeper connections between their learning and the real world.

Use Daily Higher-Order Thinking for warm-up exercises, extension activities, early finisher tasks, and small-group center activities to develop your students' critical and creative thinking skills.

How it works:

• Monday–Friday: Full-page daily activities focus on a specific behavioral verb each day. The verb is defined at the top of the page so students become aware of when and how they are using the thinking skill.
• Each full-page activity gives students an opportunity to practice a higher-order thinking skill in the context of a different curriculum area.
• Questions and tasks are open-ended and can be used to promote peer-to-peer discussions as students share and discuss answers, while also fostering critical thinking skills.
• An answer key provides sample responses for each day's activities. Evaluate students' responses based on your own expectations and on what content your students have encountered.

Grade 3 activities include: logic puzzles, creative writing, picture comparisons, and “what if” questions. Daily lessons practice higher-order thinking skills such as:

• Analyzing
• Predicting
• Modeling
• Composing
• Organizing
• Evaluation
• Designing
• Critiquing

Each book in this series features 100 “Minutes” to help students build basic skills, increase speed in math operations, and strengthen problem-solving skills. Each Minute consists of ten problems of varying degrees of difficulty that incorporate a variety of skills. Each ten-problem reproducible can be used as a learning or testing tool. 112 pages.

Fun and engaging STEM tasks are open-ended and goal-oriented, covering a variety of topics in science, technology, engineering, and math. Required materials are all common classroom and household items that allow for ease-of-use in all settings. Applying the Standards series bridges the gap between knowledge and real life, helping teachers better prepare students for life beyond the worksheet. 64 pages.

This award-winning series is a great way to add fun, depth, and critical thinking to science instruction on a variety of topics. Students will learn about the scientific method, tools, inventions, and how technology becomes part of our lives. Each book includes a wide range of experiments, projects, activities, and even a science fair project. Possible careers along with the required skills and education are also presented. 32 pages. Grades 2+. Life Science set includes: Ecosystems, Genetics, Habitats, and Plant Cells and Animal Cells.

Use these uniquely designed cards in a variety of classroom settings. With the whole class, students solve the problem on their own card then use the reverse side to form collaborative groups for further problem solving activities. Or use cards in smaller groups or individually to give students additional practice with the content they need to know. Each set contains 120 cards, 40 cards per grade level, that can be assigned on or off-grade level as necessary.

Provides a hands-on review of standards-based curriculum skills. Each set is comprised of 10 write-on/wipe-off, double-sided flip charts, each expressly developed to address the standards for a specific grade. Grouping Plants; Grouping of Animals; Rocks, Minerals & Solids; Work & Machines; and more!

Meet fascinating people who excel in STEM careers. See what drew them to their specialty and learn about their accomplishments in fields such as robotics, gaming, astrophysics, and more! 32 pages.

The perfect way to begin your students' school day! Cross-curricular daily practice gets your fifth grade students focused and engaged—and ready to learn. The daily lessons provide practice of language, math, and reading skills that support your core curriculum.

The meaningful 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice helps sharpen students' skills and helps you see where your students need to improve. With a detailed scope and sequence, you will always know the skills that your students are practicing.

Daily Fundamentals lessons are ideal for morning work, bell ringers, homework, and informal assessment. The daily practice and review prepares students for success on assessments and state testing.

How it works:

• Monday–Friday: Full-page daily activities provide practice of grade-level language, math, and reading skills, focusing on one skill in each subject area.
• The daily lessons progress in difficulty as students move through Day 1 to Day 5, and the weekly units progress in difficulty throughout the year.

The 30 weeks of fifth grade skill practice covers:

• Language: grammar, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary
• Math: algebraic expressions, fractions, decimals, measurement, problem solving, geometric properties, and data plots
• Reading: main idea and details, theme, inference, text organization, genre, literary elements, text features, context clues, and figurative language

Daily activities often include open-ended questions that require higher-order thinking skills. These types of questions can be used to promote peer-to-peer discussions as students share and discuss answers, while also fostering critical thinking skills.
