Students learn all the basics about using quotation marks correctly with this book, part of our new "Teaching the Boring Stuff" series. The activities are interesting to young people, often using a monster theme to keep their attention. (Don't worry; they are "wholesome" monsters!)

Quotation Marks uses language that real kids can understand. Also, students are asked to do much more than just fill in punctuation marks. They are required to use what they learn, incorporating quotation marks correctly into material they write themselves.

Children's Mathematics: Making Marks, Making Meaning

Based on the authors' many years' experience in teaching children ages three to eight years and on their extensive research with children in the home, nursery and school, this resource discusses the development and range of young children's mathematical marks and visual representations. It illustrates how children make mental connections between their own early marks and subsequent abstract mathematical symbolism, and go on to develop their own written methods. 

Exams are looming. How do you ensure you get the marks you want? This little book is packed with practical advice and proven methods: When revising, unplug your Internet connection and disconnect from MSN messenger. You'll never get anything done if they're on! Utilise index cards and mind maps to visualise subjects, and learn how to read actively; keep the same study schedule as your friends; it's no good thinking you'll study all evening if they're watching TV or joking around; and in the exam, decode essay questions: highlight key words and activity words so you understand what it's asking you to do.

New Edition for the December 2008 exam. The expert series delivers the rigorous exam training and thorough language development that will have your high-achieving students scoring top marks every time.
