| The spiral bound Teacher's
Edition of the Student Activities book includes 342 pages and provides hands-on investigations to reinforce
concepts presented in the text. The pages are the same as the Student Activities Book except that the teacher
notes are provided in the margins in red letters and the answers to all of the exercise
problems are shown in red letters also. Note: the answers are found only in the Teacher's
Edition. This book provides more
investigation exercises than can typically be completed in one school year. The wealth of
content allows you to select the ones you want to complete. To assist the teacher in making these choices, a chart of
teaching strategies has been formulated and appears in the back of the Teacher's Edition.
Teaching strategies are ways that you might utilize the Investigations.
