Product Description
The Bearded Collie, known to his admiring flock as the Beardie, acquired his name from his well-furred muzzle; certainly his shaggy coat, which protects from the elements, gives him an irresistible, lovable charm. Known for centuries in Scotland and Northern England, the Bearded Collie has a happy temperament, a nice medium size and an irrepressible willingness to participate in activities with his family, whether on the farm, on the beach or just in the back yard with the kids. This is a fun-loving, adaptable and hardy dog for any owner seeking a bouncy pal to spend time with. Few breeds can compete with the Beardies unique combination of loyalty, intelligence and sheer fun! This new Special Limited Edition provides everything a new owner needs to know about caring for and training a Bearded Collie. Author Bryony Harcourt-Brown, a long-time Beardie breeder from England, has written an insightful chapter on the breeds origins in its homeland, and guest author Christine Walkowicz has provided an insiders view of the breeds development in the US. This colorful handbook also covers the breeds characteristics and breed standard as well as helpful information about selecting and rearing a puppy, behavior and specific health concerns. With an emphasis on positive-training methods, the chapters on training cover everything from socialization and preventing puppy problems to house-training and obedience lessons. The well-illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare, written by popular author and veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman, discusses all aspects of canine health including selecting a qualified vet, inoculations, parasite control and more. Every owner of a Beardie will welcome this comprehensive and entertaining new guide as a valuable addition to his home library.

An Authority on Beardies!.......2000-04-26
Carol Gold practically introduced Bearded Collies to Canada, and was showing Beardies before they were accepted into the Kennel Clubs, working hard to initiate the breed on the North American continent. She KNOWS Beardies and this handbook is a must for those who are lucky enough to be "owned-by-a-Beardie." Thanks for all you've done for the breed, Carol, and thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge in your books!

Book Description
Research by cognitive psychologists and mathematics educators has often been compartmentalized by departmental boundaries. Word Problems integrates this research to show its relevance to the debate on the reform of mathematics education.
Beginning with the different knowledge structures that represent rule learning and conceptual learning, the discussion proceeds to the application of these ideas to solving word problems. This is followed by chapters on elementary, multistep, and algebra problems, which examine similarities and differences in the cognitive skills required by students as the problems become more complex. The next section, on abstracting, adapting, and representing solutions, illustrates different ways in which solutions can be transferred to related problems. The last section focuses on topics emphasized in the NCTM Standards and concludes with a chapter that evaluates some of the programs on curriculum reform.
Book Description
Learning math can be fun and challenging! This activity book provides students the opportunity to apply a multitude of math skills to solve problems, puzzles, and logic riddles. The standards-based problem solving strategies addressed in this book include drawing a picture, looking for a pattern, guessing and checking, acting it out, making a table or a list, and working backwards.
Each strategy is presented in a separate chapter and includes a description and practice activities specifically designed to address it. One chapter includes mixed practice so students can choose the strategies they feel would solve the problem most efficiently. Using interesting and engaging challenges and puzzles encourages your students to become mathematical thinkers and expert problem solvers -- all while meeting the standards set forth by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics!
Other books that make math fun for students include: Camp Fraction and Extreme Math.
Grades 2-3
Book Description
Teaching students how to tame the word problem dragon can be a challenging experience. The problems in this series were created to add depth and give meaning to the concept of solving word problems. Each page presents students with multiple problems that have a common focus. While the mathematical functions may be different for each problem, the common focus and attractive illustrations help them to become more involved in what each problem is really about.Your students will build skills in subtraction, addition, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and more while completing the challenging word problems.
