Bees, Snails, & Peacock TailsAnnotationIn this DVD program, nature’s patterns and shapes are explored. The bee builds the hive using hexagons. The diamond back rattlesnake and copperhead both have repeating shapes on their bodies. Geese fly in a v-formation so they do not get tired. Some of the other animals featured in the book are the spider, the peacock, and the puffer fish.

At the end of the program are additional facts about the animals.

Blockhead: The Life of FibonacciAnnotationIn this video program, the life of Leonardo Fibonacci is examined. Living in medieval Italy, Leonardo constantly thought about numbers. People called him blockhead because he daydreamed about numbers. As Fibonacci grew older and travelled the world, he studied how other countries use numbers and how they represent a numeral.

Today, Fibonacci is famous for his word problem about multiplying rabbits. He also discovered that things in nature seem to follow a certain pattern. Fibonacci is considered to be one of the greatest Western mathematicians of all time.

Children Are Mathematical Problem SolversAuthors: Sakshaug, Lynae; Olson, Melfried; and Olson, Judith

AnnotationEmphasizing problem solving as the foundation of mathematical understanding, the 29 activities challenge students to reason and communicate their understandings. Originating from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics journals, these activities stretch beyond translation problems to offer authentic tasks that can be solved using varying methods. The open-ended problems stem from a range of strands, and the resource guides teachers through sample questions, examples of students’ work, and assessment techniques.

Exploring Mathematics through Literature: Articles and Lessons for Prekindergarten through Grade 8Editor: Thiessen, Diane

AnnotationUsing literature as the starting point for mathematical explorations, this collection of articles and lessons provides teachers with examples to effectively build students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. The articles focus on five strands: numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability. Many activities lend themselves to small group and whole class discussions. Varied instructional strategies encourage students to utilize and develop critical and creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and mathematical reasoning abilities. Recording sheets facilitate the collection of data, and the organization of students’ thinking. Many of the literature suggestions may be found in school or public library collections. Teachers are encouraged to use this resource as a stepping stone to using other literature as the basis for mathematical explorations.

From One to One HundredAuthor/Illustrator: Sloat, Teri

AnnotationStudents have plenty of opportunities to practise counting in this search-and-find picture book. Beginning with the number one, readers scour the picture looking for specific objects. Each object appears in the illustration the same number of times as the featured number on the page. At 10, skip counting begins – 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. Readers count numerous objects on each page. For example, the number 80 features 80 fish, 80 coins, 80 shells, 80 chain links, and 80 underwater plants, all contributing to a colourful underwater scene for readers to explore.

Math-terpieces: The Art of Problem-solving. 1st ed.Author: Tang, GregIllustrator: Paprocki, Greg

AnnotationThis engaging “math-terpiece” juxtaposes the work of artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Warhol with mathematical problem solving. The problems are inspired by the art work, but not directly linked. Each double-page spread begins with an artistic masterpiece accompanied by a loosely related rhyme in which the author poses a mathematical question based on an item from the painting. The problems encourage students to mentally calculate different ways of arranging groups of objects into larger numbers. For example, after Henri Matisse’s painting, The Goldfish, Greg Tang asks readers to try re-organizing groups of fish in six different ways in order to make the number nine. Solutions appear at the end of the book along with brief notes on various forms of art. Students may benefit by modelling different solutions using manipulatives.

Mooove Over!: A Book about Counting by TwosAuthor: Beil, Karen MagnusonIllustrator: Meisel, Paul

AnnotationThe Countingtown trolley and its driver are always on time. As each pair of animal passengers board the bus, the driver keeps a running total: two, four, six, eight …. Everything proceeds smoothly until a pushy cow steps on board and tells the rest of the passengers to “Mooove over!” all the way out the door. The driver soon sets things right and does a final headcount – twenty, “Plus one pushy cow makes one too many!” Readers practise counting by twos, and gain familiarity with related words such as duet, pair, couple, twosome, and partners. Additional activities for counting by twos are included at the end of the book.

25 Thinking Questions for Canadian Schools: Grade 1Author: Armstrong, Dale

Annotation(CAN) This book includes 25 activities that emphasize problem solving using manipulatives. Many of the problems have multiple solutions or solution methods. Each open-ended question includes examples of possible misunderstandings, as well as ideas on how to assist students as they engage in the problem-solving process. Assessment tools include questions for discussion, and ideas for reflective journalling. Lesson extension ideas are provided.

Each problem-solving question may be used to support student achievement of a variety of learning outcomes; however, these have not been clearly identified within this resource. Teachers will need to select activities based on their application to specific curriculum outcomes.
