Until Someone Loses an “i”

You know the saying, “It’s all fun and games . . .” Well, with Pre-Algebra, our saying has a twist. Middle school students will spend 40 weeks discussing topics such as decimals, fractions, percents, integers, exponents, and equations. Charlene Johnson will prepare students for letters in math (and more). Each unit includes printable instructions, worksheets, and answer keys. Week 1 of each unit is designed to teach the facts about the new topic. Week 2 helps students with these facts and associate them with previously learned facts to gain an integrated approach to Algebra. Week 3 helps students learn to apply these new facts to real-world situations, and week 4 serves as a review to ensure students have gained a good understanding of the topic so they can move on to the next.

Everyday Games with Teresa Evans is a fun and interesting way to teach math and phonics to preschoolers and early elementary students. The math games will help your student improve without realizing he is really “doing math.” The reading games practice many skills, such as consonant blends, suffixes, prefixes, compound words, and much more. Daily printable board games that make early reading and math skills fun are available for hundreds of games.
