enVision Math"enVisionMATH Common Core was written for the Common Core State Standards, so teaching is highly focused, manageable, and coherent. Based on critical foundational research and proven classroom results, enVisionMATH Common Core develops conceptual understanding through Problem-Based Interactive Learning and step-by-step Visual Learning; uses bar diagrams to help students understand number and operation meanings in problem solving; and provides solid and effective intervention that makes it easy for teachers to respond to students’ individual needs."
Social Studies Alive!"Social Studies Alive! My Community teaches students the basics of geography, economics, and citizenship in the context of learning about their local community.
With hands-on activities, students:
Storypath
Complementing and extending Social Studies Alive!, Storypath is, "grounded in the belief that students learn best when they are active participants in their own learning, Storypath units present social studies curricula as a narrative that students help create. The units use the power of storytelling to engage students, who role-play their way to enriched understandings while also improving their literacy and social studies skills."
STEMscopes"STEMscopes is built on an instructional philosophy that centers on students learning science through hands-on exploration and inquiry. Each lesson includes a series of investigations and activities to bring science to life for our students so that they can “learn by doing” and fully engage in the scientific process.
Lessons are built using the research-based “5E+IA” model, which stands for Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, Intervention, and Acceleration. Each one of these components of the lesson cycle features specific resources to support our students’ understanding of scientific concepts." Computer Science with Code Studio"Code.org has developed an elementary school curriculum that allows even the youngest students to explore the limitless world of computing. The courses blend online, self-guided and self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at all." Code Studio: Course 2, "is designed for students who can read and have no prior programming experience. In this course students will create programs to solve problems and develop interactive games or stories they can share."
