Book: A Framework for Understanding Poverty
Price: $22.00
|
Author: Ruby K. Payne, Ph.D. |
|
How does poverty impact learning, work habits and decision-making? People in poverty face challenges virtually unknown to those in middle class or wealth—challenges from both obvious and hidden sources. The reality of being poor brings out a survival mentality, and turns attention away from opportunities taken for granted by everyone else.

Book: Daily Math Practice for VA Standards of Learning - Fourth Grade
Price: $22.00
|
|
Please note: The enclosed Daily Math Practice for Virginia SOLs has the same exercises as Daily Math Skills Review, and is being offered to you as a substitution for that book at a discounted price of $10.
We apologize for the substitution as Daily Math Skills Review is out of print.
This book teaches and reteaches the math concepts found in the fourth grade Virginia Standards of Learning in an upward spiraling level of difficulty through its chapters, its lessons specifically designed in sets of five days in 30 units. Because it provides lessons for teaching
and practice of fourth grade math concepts throughout the book, it can be used for both a class or an individual student who has not mastered a certain objective.
