The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SSAT and ISEE exams is very different from getting straight A’s in school. We don’t try to teach you everything there is to know about English and math–only what you’ll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. IniCracking the SSAT & ISEE/i, we’ll teach you how to think like the test writers andbrbr·Correctly answer analogy and synonym questions even when you’re not sure what all of the words meanbr·Ace the reading comprehension section by learning to spot main ideas, topic sentences, and key wordsbr·Crack the general math section by learning to avoid wrong answer choices that look right but are planted to fool youbr·Learn how to turn complicated algebra problems into simple word problemsbr·Simplify the SSAT writing sample and the ISEE essay using a sure-fire, step-by-step approachbrbrThis book includes five full-length practice tests, with questions like the ones you’ll see on the actual SSAT and ISEE.

20 different skill puzzles in each kit teach and reinforce the skills being learned while enhancing the retention of the skill, through the visual and tactile stimulation in the brain of early learners. These 8 x 8 five piece two-sided plastic coated puzzles, are durable with rounded corners, and a great size for small hands to easily manipulate and experience success. Each puzzle is self-checking and skill based. Child matches the four picture/math puzzle pieces to the correct center shape puzzle piece to complete each puzzle. Classifying Puzzles are designed to meet the following key instructional goals: * developing and extending vocabulary * classifying animals and objects * using words in speech For use with Grades K-2.

Parents want to be supportive of math education. But they often feel frustration when they don’t recognize the kind of instruction their children are getting and can’t help them at home. The best way to guide parents toward an understanding of how their kids are learning is by engaging them in the very same mathematics students are experiencing at school. With the Supporting School Mathematics series, you’ll find six comprehensive workshop modules for effectively engaging with parents or any stakeholder in mathematics education.The six sessions of Supporting School Mathematics each use explicit, thorough, hands-on examples to illustrate how key aspects of your math curriculum work. Parents will come to understand: what it means to teach for understanding and how meaningful, challenging, and engaging this type of learning iswhy and how the focus of instruction is different than traditional mathematics teachinghow basic facts are both explicitly and implicitly addressedhow to extend to home what students learn at school.Each Supporting School Mathematics package includes everything you need to conduct a successful parent workshop: a planning handbook that offers general advice on presenting mathematical content and even provides you a Q-and-A section featuring the questions you are most likely to get and good answers to thema module that includes scripts, content-specific talking points, overheads, and handouts that help audience members understand how their children are learning and discover new ways of helping them at homea CD that contains ready-to-print files for the overheads as well as printable versions of the handouts in both English and Spanish.The six workshops inthe Supporting School Mathematics series help you demonstrate for parents the most important aspects of any mathematics curriculum: Helping with Math at Home: Ideas for Parents Helping with Math at Home: More Ideas for Parents Understanding Addition and Subtraction Across the Grades Understanding Multiplication Across the Grades Understanding Fractions Across the Grades Encouraging Mathematical Thinkers: The Basics and More Gain parents’ support by using Supporting School Mathematics to introduce them to high-quality, student-centered mathematics instruction. It’s an easy, new way to change how they think about their children’s math education.

A whole new twist on General, Organic and Biological Chemistry!brbrIntroducing a unique approach, with a whole new twist designed for the specific needs of the General, Organic, and Biochemistry course! Kenneth Raymond’s General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry offers a concise, manageable, highly effective alternative with an integrated Table of Contents. Now, students can get to the biochemistry topics earlier, better appreciate how the course relates to careers in allied heath, and see connections among these three areas of chemistry.brbrHere’s how Raymond’s approach works:brbr1. Integration.brbrThe text presents interrelated topics from general, organic, and biochemistry in the same or adjacent chapters. This highly integrated approach reduces excess review, and enables students to explore biochemical topics earlier in the course. The result is a briefer, more focused, and more engaging text.brbr2. Applications.brbrRaymond takes a very applied approach, filled with real-life examples that effectively connect the chemistry to future careers in health-related fields. Chapter-opening vignettes focus on the link between chemistry and everyday topics.brbr3. Relevance.brbrOnline videos and articles from ScienCentral connect the chemistry presented in the text to current events.brbr4. Brief and accessible.brbrConcise, readable chunks of text make the book accessible for a wide range of students.brbr5. Lots of support–online and in the text.br* eGrade Plus online resources: Homework management, a complete online text, videos, interactive problems, and more–all in one convenient website. eGrade Plus is included free with new copies when the instructor adopts the eGrade Plus version of the text. www.wiley.com/college/egradeplusbr* A review of essential math in the text and on the eGradePlus website.

bi“The infantryman’s war is . . . without the slightest doubt the dirtiest, roughest job of them all.”brbr/i/bHe went in as a military history buff, a virgin, and a teetotaler. He came out with a war bride, a taste for German beer, and intimate knowledge of one of the darkest parts of history. His name is Dean Joy, and this was his war.brbrFor two months in 1945, Joy endured and survived the everyday deprivations and dangers of being a frontline infantryman. His amazingly detailed memoir, self-illustrated with numerous scenes Joy remembers from his time in Europe, brings back the sights, sounds, and smells of the experience as few books ever have. Here is the story of a young man who dreamed of flying fighter aircraft and instead was chosen to be cannon fodder in France and Germany . . . who witnessed the brutality of Nazis killing Allied medics by using the cross on their helmets as targets . . . and who narrowly escaped being wounded or killed in several “near miss” episodes, the last of which occurred on his last day of combat.brbriSixty Days in Combat/ire-creates all the drama of the “dogface’s” fight, a time that changed one young man in a war that changed the world.brbrbriFrom the Trade Paperback edition./ibChapter 1br/bbrFROM COLLEGE FRESHMAN TO ARMY DRAFTEEbrbrJune 12, 1942, through July 2, 1943brbrLike my boyhood friend Horace Jeffrey-we called him Jeff-I had a passion for airplanes.
