Sorting & Rules
One Pile or the Other
The rule is given. Every object goes in exactly one pile, and none is left over.

04
Sorting & Rules
Does It Belong?
Applying a stated rule to a new object. Yes or no, with a reason.
05
Sorting & Rules
Sort It Two Ways
The same objects, a second rule, and different piles. Sorting is a choice.

Composing shapes (1.G.2). Two pieces put together and the whole named.
19

A picture of who is next to who. Adjacency, drawn, and never named.
21
Dots & Lines
Everybody Waves
Three friends, every wave drawn once. The handshake problem at its smallest.

This is the book’s own table of contents, read out of the source rather than retyped here. The fourth column is the line printed under the title on the student’s page.
California standards touched
This is enrichment: it reinforces and extends these standards rather than delivering them. No standard here is taught to mastery by this program alone. The list is the set of codes actually named in the “In class this week” line across the 36 weeks, counted from the published book.
1.G.11.G.21.G.31.MD.11.MD.21.MD.31.MD.41.NBT.11.NBT.21.NBT.31.NBT.51.OA.11.OA.51.OA.61.OA.8
Everything, free
Every one of the 147 numeric answers in that guide is recomputed from the problem as the workbook states it, by a script that ships with the source and runs on every build.
No year in this line has been run start to finish in a classroom yet. If you would be the first teacher to do it, we would like to hear from you.
