the following changes will be made with the release of the March 2010 K-5 Kaplan catalog:
-
The Numeracy Center will now be called Making Numeracy Connections;
-
The Linking Math and Literature Activity Cards will be re-named Making Literature Connections;
-
The brand-new Algebra Content Boxes will be called Making Algebra Connections (K-2 and 3-5); and
-
Sherry’s four-day trainings will still be called Making Math Connections.
Watch for products right on this website.
Vennlogic, Inc. is joining the e-commerce world! And the first product will mostly likely be…
Folder Games! During her “time off,” Sherry has been writing a complete set
of folder games for each grade PreK through Grade 5. Each grade-level set is aligned to the NCTM
Curriculum Focal Points. A grade-level set consists of 10 folders. Watch the website for information about ordering.
