Fuentes, Sarah Quebec; Crawford, Lindy; Huscroft-D'Angelo, Jacqueline – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2017
All students should have opportunities to develop their ability to reason mathematically. Gersten and Chard (1999) support this stance with respect to students with learning disabilities: "Even if students are not automatic with basic facts, they still should be engaged in activities that promote the development of number sense and…

Lee, Eun Ju; Cite, Suleyman; Hanuscin, Deborah – Science and Children, 2014
Many teachers have developed "tried and true" lessons that they look forward to teaching-- mystery powders is one that these authors like. Originally part of the Elementary Science Study curricula in the 1960s, there are now many different versions of this well-known activity in which students examine physical and chemical properties of…
