Teacher+Resources

There are various resources available to you as a teacher. We found the following to be the most helpful! COME CHECK 'EM OUT!
 * Read all about it! **

1. //Great Number Rumble// by Cora Lee and Gillian O'Reilly is an excellent resource for teachers because it spans a variety of mathematical subjects and relates them to everyday experiences. 

2. //Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 6-8// by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics provides teachers not only with the standards but also ideas for activities and discussions. 

3. The textbook by Glencoe, //Mathematics: Applications and Connections Course 3//, provides teachers and students with a detailed summary of the Pythagorean Theorem and other concepts as well as problems and activities that could further classroom understanding. 

4. //I Spy Shapes in Art// by Lucy Micklethwait is a picture book that would be an excellent read-aloud for any geometry lesson. 5. //Euclid and Geometry// by Estelle DeLacy provides an interesting history of the Pythagorean Theorem as well as other Geometry concepts that could be beneficial hooks at the beginning of the lesson and make connections with the subject. 

__Other Resources we just HAD to include.__

6. SMART Exchange provides a great SmartBoard Presentation for all teachers (and we think it's great!):

7. Don't forget the Sample Tasks we love.

8. The Georgia Performance Standards provides us with the basis for our lesson plan structure and the topics we include in our curriculum.
