By Lynette Long

Don't Just Learn Geometry...Master It!

Brimming with fun and educational games and activities, the Magical Math series provides everything you need to know to become a master of mathematics! In each of these books, Lynette Long uses her unique style to help you truly understand mathematical concepts as you use common objects such as playing cards, dice, coins, and every mathematician's basic tools: paper and pencil.

Inside Groovy Geometry, you'll find all the geometry basics, plus information on how to figure out the height of any object from its shadow, find distances "as the crow flies," estimate the area of any space, and much more. While you play the Name Game and Rectangle Race, you'll learn how to draw, measure, and identify different kinds of angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals. And with fun activities like Bull's Eye and Pizza Party, you'll practice plotting coordinate points on a graph and measuring the area and diameter of a circle. Most important, you'll have a great time doing it!

So why wait? Jump right in and find out how easy it is to become a mathematics master!

CAE Listening and Speaking Skills
Cambridge CAE Skills offer a bridge between communicative methodology and the needs of the exam class. Designed to prepare students for the various CAE papers, these books also consider the four skills in their wider application through the use of exciting topics and enjoyable communicative activities. The skills relevant to Papers 4 and 5 are covered in this single book. Each unit is divided into two sections, one dealing with listening and the other with speaking, linked to a common topic. Topics are innovative and unusual, offering students a genuine stimulus for speaking activities. Exam Tips boxes give students detailed advice about what to expect during each of the CAE papers, and the book offers plenty of opportunity to practise the type of activities that will be encountered during the paired interview. The cassettes feature authentic recordings from diverse sources.

Wacky Word Problems: Games and Activities That Make Math Easy and Fun (Magical Math)

Wacky Word Problems: Games and Activities That Make Math Easy and Fun (Magical Math)Lynette Long, «Wacky Word Problems: Games and Activities That Make Math
Easy and Fun (Magical Math)»
Grade 3-6–This volume includes specific directions and activities to construct pictographs, bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs, and to compile statistics. Materials needed, step-by-step directions, and at least one illustration accompany each activity. The black-and-white drawings and graphs are appealing and easy to read. While these activities are solid, the focus here is on play, not on thinking about when to use certain types of graphs or what the gathered information indicates. Similarly, the computation of statistics is encouraged but
there is little analysis of the results. This title can be a resource for teachers and parents of homeschoolers, but it needs a math-savvy facilitator to round out the learning.–Erlene Bishop Killeen, Fox Prairie Elementary School, Stoughton, WI Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

'Vocabulary Games and Activities 2' by Peter Watcyn-Jones

'Vocabulary Games and Activities 2' by Peter Watcyn-Jones'Vocabulary Games and Activities 2' by Peter Watcyn-Jones - New Edition
Вторая часть одного из самых удачных сборников для преподавателя английского языка, существующих на сегодняшний день. Внутри - шестьдесят (!) заданий и игр, которые призваны помочь студентам расширить свой словарный запас, а вам - снизить затраты времени на подготовку к занятиям.
Всячески рекомендую!

60 dynamic and motivating activities in each book give extra practice in vocabulary at every level of ability.
A detailed contents list makes it easy to find the vocabulary you want to teach.

One of the book's most attractive features is the fact that it cuts down significantly on class preparation time. All you need is access to a photocopier and scissors. In fact some activities require neither. "Three-in-a-row", a fun quiz, is an ideal stand-by for that class one has to give at a moment's notice.

What impresses most about "Vocabulary Games and Activities" is the sheer variety of activities it has to offer. Apart from the afore-mentioned, you can find: bingo, dominoes, word-grouping activities, conundrums, "Find someone who", board games and dictations, all with the underlying characteristics of encouraging interaction in the classroom, reinforcing existing vocabulary and teaching new lexis in an almost effortless, and always enjoyable way.

Teachers familiar with Peter Watcyn-Jones's other work, such as the immensely useful "Test your Vocabulary" and "Target Vocabulary" series will need no further persuasion. For the uninitiated among you, let me sum up by saying that it's surely his finest resource book to date.
