This practical new text will empower those educators responsible for math instruction to successfully teach students in grades six through eight, as well as other students, to master computation of integers.  Integration of picture-led, step-by-step instruction with accompanying dialogue will aid educators to deliver the exact vocabulary and stepwise procedures necessary for success—that of their students learning the mathematical process to computing integers. Written for math educators including elementary, middle school, special education teachers, tutors and home school teachers, this accessible guide will improve instructors’ ability to teach integers, and the confidence in their students to master the subject matter.   Special pedagogical features include: Student Work Pages for every lesson! Scripted, step-by-step examples outline how to teach each stage using hands-on, pictorial and abstract approaches. Concrete to Representational to Abstract sequence of instruction (CRA) in each section of the book and materials. Instructional lessons with assessment matching inform both the student and the teacher what learning occurred and where to start in order to master the skill. Cumulative reviews to help eachstudent successfully retain information.   - from Amzon
