In this two- to three-week unit, students read and draw floor plans and elevations, figure building costs, and build a scale model of a house. As students solve the problems inherent in building a structure, they learn scale, measurement, and architectural symbols and use their problem-solving skills and creativity. Seventeen architect's plans, student outcomes, materials and procedure lists, and blackline masters are included. The companion poster presents a floor plan from the book, drawn to architectural standards, together with photographs of the construction and the finished house. A chart, great for use with the book or as a stand-alone, shows and defines the symbols used in the plan. Includes an 8-page guide with suggested activities and a blackline master for the plan.

Students' confidence will soar as they make discoveries about whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, and equations! Problem Solving in Mathematics guides students' progress with drill and practice, grade-level topics, and challenge activities. Each book contains blackline masters plus teacher materials with objectives, targeted problem-solving skills, answers, and follow-up suggestions. Ideal for students who need extra help, Alternative Problem Solving in Mathematics (Grades 4-6) includes problems with scaled-down math computation and longer completion times. The In-Service Guide offers problems to try and evaluation guidelines.

Show students how science applies to everyday life by engaging them in tasks directly related to a real-world event. Each project begins with actual media coverage of an event shown on video prompting students to work in teams and use their scientific knowledge to complete hands-on activities based on a particular topic. The Teacher's Guide includes student activity pages, one or more videos, and helpful teaching tips. Grades 5-8 Teacher's Edition with video
