I have just finished my review of CAMS & STAMS books from Curriculum Associates ... It is a series of assessment books, student worktexts, and teacher guides for struggling students that presents each math topic in a highly scaffolded manner. These books are supplemental to any basal math curriculum, and have been specifically designed to support struggling students . Each level consists of: a student book (consumable worktext) with instruction and exercises. This is the heart of the program, and always covers the most important topics of the grade level, as given in the NCTM Focal Points and Connections. A test booklet, which contains a pretest, a postest, and four "benchmark" tests. The benchmark tests are to be used to monitor student progress throughout the year. A very detailed teacher guide for the student text, and another, much thinner teacher guide for the assessment booklet. Read the review!

First of all I want to mention that Henry at Why Homeschool is looking for homeschooling carnival submissions for an anniversary edition next week. Check here for instructions . And then, about fractions. I have now updated and improved my two fractions workbooks . In these books, I've strived to teach all fraction operations visually, and explain why the various rules for fraction operations work. I know, most math books have pie charts for fractions as well, but here's the difference: in my books, the kids do a lot of exercises using those pies, and not just see them once in the beginning of the lesson. And these are not manipulative exercises but simply picture exercises in the book. I've always felt you need to first get the kid to understand what fractions are and only then start dealing with rules. Those rules so often just get confused with each other. (Have you ever had a child try add fractions by adding the numerators and the denominators...?) I've strived to ...
