Going to have advanced math students next year.

Even though I am moving back to reg. ed, I will be pulling from my background here to use next year. I was told my students will be grouped according to their math scores for next year. I will be getting the advanced math kids. I have never had a class grouped this way, and I am interested to what their reading levels will be. Anyway, since I am planning on flying in math, I will be around asking for opinions and questions of you.

Oh, and I thought I was going to 1st, but I am moving to 3rd instead. Any thoughts on good resources for advanced math 3rd graders? We will be using the enVision math series, but I do plan on doing alot of higher level supplementing as well.

Tim I have been using a couple of different books to supplement and extend thinking. Although I like students to move at their pace I also want them to develop deeper thinking skills.

Another series I would recommend is Awesome Math Problems for Creative Thinking by Carole E. Greenes, Carol R. Findell, M. Katherine Gavin, Linda Jensen Sheffield. This series with books for each grade 3-8 provides a great number of problems for problem solving and development of thinking.

One last possible resource might be the Project M3 from Kendall Hunt Publishing ([link removed].

I wish you well and am just a little bit jealous as I continue in a teacher support role, and would love to work with a group of students of my own.
