Quality Curriculum

Included in this 40-page publication from QualityCurriculum are activities and worksheets that encourage students to make careful observations to discern patterns and structure. Learners will be asked to identify the name of and describe three-dimensional shapes presented in a variety of ways (with different sizes and orientations) including cubes, prisms, spheres, cones, cylinders and pyramids. Some of the tasks will ask students to describe their physical world using geometric vocabulary and

This 36-page publication from QualityCurriculum is designed to help young students become mathematically proficient at using charts, verbal descriptions, tables and graphs to represent important features and relationships related to graphical data, relying on the use of concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve problems. More specifically, students are asked to draw picture graphs and bar graphs with single-unit scale to represent data sets with up to four categories.

These clever 6" rulers were designed by a teacher whose students were initially experiencing difficulty conceptualizing halves and fourths when first learning to measure lengths using customary/household units. In place of plain hatch marks, each inch is divided into whole-, half-, and quarter-inch rectangles. To avoid the confusion a lot of elementary school students experience when using standard rulers, the beginning of the first inch coincides with the starting end of the ruler, and because

Included in this 42-page publication from QualityCurriculum are activities and worksheets that encourage students to make careful observations to discern patterns and structure. Learners will be asked to identify the name of and describe basic two-dimensional shapes presented in a variety of ways (different sizes and orientations) including squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons. The last two pages offer a number of suggestions for child-centered activities where learners can be

Magisterial Multiplication is a very unique, innovative approach to teaching the multiplication facts in a minimal amount of time with only a nominal amount of effort via the use of previously unrecognized patterns, formulas, theorems and devices that make the products of entire multiplication tables immediately and automatically self-evident in one fell swoop. This tenth video unveils the strategies that effectively uncover the answers to all the digits times eight, thereby eliminating any need

Magisterial Multiplication is a very unique, innovative approach to teaching the multiplication tables in a minimal amount of time with only a nominal amount of effort, with this second video unveiling how just a little bit of commonsense reasoning, as opposed to the brute force of rote memorization—basic logic that is almost elegant in its simplicity—supplies learners with a capacity-developing framework on which to perspicaciously hang all the products comprising the multiplication facts.

Quality Curriculum has replaced the dots normally printed on five frames with pennies, dimes, and Susan B. Anthony dollars as a nifty resource for helping students learn all about place value. With pennies representing ones, dimes representing tens, and dollars representing hundreds, the frames can be printed on card stock and cut out to use as manipulatives for developing students’ sense of numbers at math centers or during place value lessons and activities.

This resource is designed to help learners develop an understanding of the meaning of division of whole numbers through activities and problems involving equal-sized groups and arrays. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, students will learn the relationship between multiplication and division. (Division is finding an unknown factor in these situations.) They will use increasingly sophisticated strategies based on properties of operations to calculate factors of whole numbers and sol

Magisterial Multiplication is a very unique, innovative approach to teaching the multiplication facts in a minimal amount of time with only a nominal amount of effort. But before getting into the nitty gritty of how this instructional approach capitalizes on patterning instinct to make each and every product within any given multiplication table automatically self-evident based on just two or three rudimentary observations, effectively pulling back the veil hiding the answers to all the multipli

This video introduces a unique, innovative approach to teaching basic multiplication facts in a manner that empowers students with the ability to easily master the multiplication tables at grade level in a minimal amount of time with only a nominal amount of effort.
