| tangram worksheets for middle school: Tangrams Pack Randy Crawford, 1999-08-01 The tangram, known to the Chinese as the Seven Clever Pieces, is a moving puzzle piece, where designs and figures are made using seven geometric shapes known as tans. The tans are traditionally cut from a square and there are two small, one medium, and two large triangles, one parallelogram, and one square. The most popular way of playing with tangrams is to recreate a shape seen only in silhouette. The rules are simple - match your imagination against the inventiveness of centuries of experts to recreate the pictures in the book - or make up your designs. Solving a difficult puzzle by having the seven tans slide together to create a lively or evocative shape creates a sense of mystery and wonder. Inside this pack are two complete tangrams in contrasting colors and a book that details the history and background of this fascinating art. There are 500 different tangram designs, including 50 original dazzling and complex doubleset designs to tease and tantalize. Full solutions are provided for each puzzle and there are also intructions for competitive play, so two people can duel in an artistic challenge. |

| tangram worksheets for middle school: Learning Mathematics in Elementary and Middle Schools W. George Cathcart, 2001 Text is appropriate for courses in Mathematics for the Elementary School. Built on the foundation of the new 2000 NCTM Principles and Standards, this major new entry for K-8 math methods has impacted the market because of its point-of-use links to the standards and its emphasis on the importance of a child-centered approach creating a learning environment that informs teachers how to support children as they build understandings of math concepts. Designed to be neither skimpy nor exhaustive, this text presents theory in an accessible manner and models a wealth of practical activities for teaching. Five videos from the Annenberg/CPB TEACHING MATH video series bring real classrooms to life for teachers and are integrated into the text as four/color, resourceful inserts. |
| tangram worksheets for middle school: Teaching Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School Joseph G. R. Martinez, Nancy Conrad Martinez, 2007 With an emphasis on inquiry and process, Teaching Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School embraces active mathematics instruction and the development of mathematical thinking through problem solving. The text challenges future teachers to prepare their K-8 students for a world that requires a higher level of mathematical literacy and enables them to compete in a global society.Teachers will develop their own mathematical abilities, allowing them to help students discover a rich combination of thinking processes and problem-solving strategies, raising the learning expectations for all. Unique text features TIE-Thought, Investigation and Exploration features ask pre-service teachers to develop their own thinking and learning abilities, preparing them to better challenge their students. Mathematics in the Real World, Idea Files, and Teacher Profiles model best practices and supply readers with concrete teaching tools and strategies. Mathematical Thinking, Mathematical Games and Mathematics and Technology features detail activities to engage and develop students' mathematical thinking. Accompanying student artifacts illustrate the progression of students' conceptual understanding. [CD logo replaces bullet] Math Activities CD-ROM provides an outstanding text component containing more than 100 activities that use a three-step process-explore, invent, discover-to foster the development of mathematical thinking through guided inquiry. Aligned with the NCTM standards, each activity is integrated within the text and designed to help develop students' conceptual understanding of mathematics. Mathematics in Literature offers thoroughly developed ideas for using children's literature to create meaningful contexts for mathematics learning. An extensive bibliography that can be used for this purpose appears on the CD-Rom. I think the text is an excellent resource for elementary and middle school methods courses. In particular, I like how the textbook handles the 'bigger issues' such as geometric reasoning rather than just 'geometry.' I also like the excellent foundation in educational research that the textbook provides, as well as some very careful attention and consistent referencing to the NCTM standards and principles. The incorporation of classroom vignettes, teacher illustrations, and samples of student work also all add to the excellent grounding of the text in real world classroom work.

| tangram worksheets for middle school: RightStart Mathematics Joan A. Cotter, RightStart Mathematics is a comprehensive math program for children that is easy to teach and provides the foundation for everyday life, for advanced math, and for science in our technological world. The research-based elementary and intermediate RightStart Mathematics program is easy to use: the lessons tell you what to teach, and how and why, day by day and year by year. This unique program uses visualization of quantities, de-emphasizes counting, and provides visual stategies (mental pictures) for memorizing the facts. Understanding is emphasized. Math needs to be taught so 95 percent is understood and only 5 percent memorized. When children don't understand, they memorize until the burden becomes too great and then they give up. When children understand, they need less time in review and practice. The second edition RS2 Level E covers multiplication of a multi-digit number by a 2-digit number, short division by a single digit, mixed and improper fraction addition and subtraction, factoring into primes, and introduces decimals and percentages. Multiple approaches to problem solving are also incorporated along with classifications of triangles and polygons, measurement in US customary and metric systems, area, angles, line plots, and solving simple algebraic equations. |

| tangram worksheets for middle school: Young Children Learn Measurement and Geometry Marja van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Kees Buys, 2008-01-01 Improving the quality of education is an important ambition of educational policy. The TAL project aims to contribute to this. It is a project initiated by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, and carried out by the Freudenthal Institute (FI) of Utrecht University and the Dutch National Institute for Curriculum Development (SLO), and partly conducted in cooperation with the Rotterdam Center for Educational Services (CED). The quality of education can be improved in many ways. TAL proposes to do this by providing insights into the broad longitudinal outline of the learning-teaching process and its internal coherence. The intention of TAL is to give support to teachers in combination with the guidance they get from mathematics textbook series. This learning-teaching trajectory description for measurement and geometry aims to succeed in stimulating classroom practice and to inspire teachers to didactical efforts on a high level, in what was up to now, in the lower grades of primary school, a less-known subdomain of mathematics. The learning-teaching trajectory with intermediate attainment targets offers support to teachers, in order to give measurement and geometry a full and worthy place within the mathematics curriculum. For that to be the case, the foundation that is made with this learning-teaching trajectory must be built upon in the higher grades of primary school and beyond. |
