This submission contains the Proceedings of the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), held at the Université de Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick. The CMESG is a group of mathematicians and mathematics educators who meet annually to discuss mathematics education issues at all levels of learning. The aims of…

Suggests using literature to study geometry and presents activities on the book "Sitting in My Box." (Author/NB)

Describes how students connect culture and mathematics by using tessellating and symmetrical patterns in the designs of architecture, pottery, blankets, and baskets as models to create geometric designs for a quilt. (Author/YDS)

Describes how mathematical understanding grows and develops while children play with the mathematical ideas they see emerging as they hear and talk about the story "Selina and the Bear Paw Quilt". (Author/NB)

Discusses ways in which teachers can use the appealing study of quilts as a tool for teaching mathematics concepts and connecting multicultural history, literacy, and art. (Author/NB)

This book is number 2 of a series of elementary science books that presents a wealth of ideas for science activities for the elementary school teacher. Each activity includes a standard set of information designed to help teachers determine the activity's appropriateness for their students, plan its implementation, and help children focus on a…

This book contains activities designed to help teachers enrich the mathematical experiences of all children and reach toward fulfillment of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. Chapters include: (1) "Prenumber, Number, Non-Number"; (2) "Place Value"; (3) "Addition, Subtraction"; (4)…

Helping students notice the geometric shapes and symbols around them and in the world's cultures is a fascinating way to make mathematics meaningful. (Editor/SJL)

Describes an art lesson using the styles of Charles Demuth and Charles Sheeler in which the students created computerized drawings containing geometric forms. Explains that the lesson incorporates computer technology, art, and mathematics. Provides background information on Demuth and Sheeler and discusses procedures for the lesson. (CMK)

Included are four learning activities that focus on using and interpreting data as a basis for integrating mathematics, science, and sports. Each activity includes grade level, objectives, materials, directions, answers to questions, extensions, and reproducible handouts. (KR)

Described is a way to incorporate mathematics into such disciplines as social studies, English, science, and library skills. Emphasized is that connections must be made among various topics so that students can see how mathematical ideas are related and how one mathematical idea can help them understand others. (KR)

Multicultural study, visual and language arts, social studies, and geometry are integrated into this 2-month unit for the elementary classroom. The unit is divided into 3 segments, centering around the creation of a class icosahedron in which each of the shape's 20 faces represents 1 class member. Actual construction of the icosahedron constitutes…

This book is a revised edition of one of the products of a project, "Teaching Mathematics and Science Concepts, K-6, funded by the New York State Education Department. The project was a collaborative effort by mathematics and science education faculty at the State University of New York at Albany and representatives of eight school districts in…

This volume is the twenty-first in a series of 29 coordinated MINNEMAST units in mathematics and science for kindergarten and the primary grades. Intended for use by second-grade teachers, this unit guide provides a summary and overview of the unit, a list of materials needed, and descriptions of three groups of lessons. The purposes and…

Describes a classroom project integrating children's literature, Japanese culture, and geometry that grew out of the local killing of a Japanese exchange student. Fourth-graders read "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" around which the interdisciplinary unit was developed. Topics covered included Japanese culture, American social…
