Kindergarten-Grade 2 - Slug enjoys lying on the ocean floor observing the different fish as they swim by.

Designed to help problem solvers improve their street smarts, this hands-on guide examines the components of problem solving, and presents a series of graduated exercises — drawn from a variety of industrial applications — to familiarize, reinforce, challenge, and stretch readers creatively in the problem solving process. Leads readers step-by-step through a complete problem-solving process — from encountering an ill-defined problem to identifying the real problem, effectively exploring constraints, planning a robust approach, carrying it through to a viable solution, and then evaluating what has been accomplished.
California Mathematics: Concepts, Skills, and Problem Solving - TWE includes diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment; data-driven instruction; intervention options; and performance tracking, as well as remediation, acceleration, and enrichment tools throughout the program. Teachers can use the myriad of intervention tips and ancillary materials to address the needs of all students.
The Real-World Problem Solving Readers are unique in that they feature math problems throughout each story. Each reader has a set of 4 to 6 questions. Students are expected to return to the story and find information in the text or in charts, tables, or graphs to answer the questions.
With her new story, Monica Edwards returns to Punchbowl Farm and the Thornton Family.

The chief problem facing Dion, Lindsey and the rest of the Thornton family, is what to do about Chalice, the colt, who is continually breaking out, leading the heifers after him.
