Designed to help stimulate the development of thinking skills in children of varying abilities and to review basic skills at all elementary grade levels, this book contains 153 "ready-to-go" classroom activities. Included are "total-group,""partner," and "individual" activities. Activities in the book are organized for easy use into four major subject and skill areas: (1) Thinking and Reasoning (classification, logic, decision making, problem solving, developing strategy, and creative thinking); (2) Math (numeration, computation, place value, estimation, fractions, geometry, relationships and patterns); (3) Language and Writing (phonics, compound words, spelling, descriptive words, synonyms and antonyms, vocabulary, prefixes, suffixes, roots, and parts of speech); and (4) Listening and Remembering (critical listening, following oral directions, and memory). Each activity in the book contains a skill review, grade level, group size, step-by-step directions, activity extenders, and answers or possible solutions. Activities are oral or require only pencil and paper, or chalkboard and chalk. To help the teacher, the book includes a special Activity/Skills Index that lists all activities by subject matter, group size, and grade level. (NKA)
