Product Description
From the Introduction: ''The newspaper is a familiar tool to may teachers. This book explores another use of the newspaper in the classroom. As an aid in the teaching and remediating of basic mathematics skills, the newspaper adds variety to classroom instruction. The suggested newspaper ideas and teaching ideas presented here are specifically designed to reinforce the Minimum Student Performance Standards identified by the Florida Dept. of Education for grades three and five.'' MESSAGE TO THE TEACHER: ''Many teachers have taught a unit on the use of the newspaper from another view. Organized by state standards, the suggested activities directly address the mathematics skill through the use of the newspaper. Ideally, students' skill proficiency and familiarity with the newspaper are increased simultaneously. For each math skill or set of skills, sample teaching ideas are given. Where needed, the student activity sheet follows the skill sheet. Each activity sheet is coded in the upper right hand corner with the standard, skill and grade designation.''
