99 Stories I Could Tell The elements of creative writing and doodling join forces to produce a book like no other, 99 Stories I Could Tell. By finishing doodles and answering questions, this journal will help your teen create a list of 99 stories worthy of being told. With that list, your teen can make a comic, write a song, or even write a memoir.At the beginning of 99 Stories I Could Tell there are oodles of doodles and prompts to curate and unearth buried childhood memories, but as the book progresses, your teen will find it easier and easier to conceive of stories with less support. 99 Stories I Could Tell comes with a removable silk-screened PVC jacket that protects an uncoated cover that your teen can customize. From the Publisher:From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet and NYC Basic Tips and Ettiquette and Strange Planet comes 99 Stories I Could Tell, a guided journal with 99 prompts plus a customizable cover. Nathan Pyle takes journalers for a creative ride through the pages of this product--each prompt comes with a mix of black lines (solid boundaries to color) and blue lines (to trace and use as a jumping-off point for further imagination. The prompts move from extremely supportive towards the start of the journal (giving the journaler lots of structure so as not to intimidate them) to more free-form, the idea being that the journaler's skills will increase the more they progress. The prompts themselves are a collection of inventive and humorous trips down memory lane, helping journalers curate and draw their most prized recollections, and also unearth memories they didn't know they had (a lie you were told as a child that you believed until recently or the first fictional death you experienced). With a well-honed sensibility for what shares well online and what people are searching for, each of the 99 stories has been chosen because it prompts emotional resonance and will be content people will be excited to share on their social media. The prompts can also be mixed and matched to create all-new narratives, the way musical notes can be lined up differently to make new tunes. Package-wise, this journal is a large square, big enough to satisfy doodlers, but light enough to easily fit in a backpack or tote bag. The book's jacket is a silk-screened PVC case which adds to the nostalgic feel (reminiscent of a toy); the jacket is also removable to reveal an uncoated cover where journalers can embellish the design in their own way, making each and every journal totally customizable.

99 Stories I Could Tell

Typically counted as 1/4 credit for high school students. According to national standards, students in grades four to twelve must now be able to demonstrate their knowledge of how to use common Greek and Latin roots for analyzing the meaning of complex words. Lovely! Isn't this just what we needed, one more requirement from the government that our children will be tested for yearly? Yet surprisingly enough, it makes sense. Children who have a solid grasp of word roots are bound to be children with better reading comprehension skills, primarily because they have learned to decode words. But regardless of the benefit, you're probably not looking for another task. In that case, you will appreciate the Word Roots series. It will teach your children the meanings of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes of words commonly used in English. Because the pages are reproducible, the entire family can be prepared for any assessment tests their state throws at them. Word Roots teaches children the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements will dramatically improve spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your child's vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing. Includes pretest/posttest, lesson reviews, teaching suggestions, and a dictionary of the prefixes, roots, suffixes, and vocabulary words derived from Latin and/or Greek word elements.

Word Roots Level 3

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students.Math-U-See Geometry is typically a good fit for a student entering ninth grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Geometry Geometry has three main areas of emphasis: the vocabulary of geometry, practical applications of geometry, and traditional geometry, including proofs. Topics include lines, angles, area, perimeter, volume, Pythagorean theorem, axioms and postulates, congruency, and similarity. An introduction to trigonometric functions is included. This is to prepare students for testing they may face before taking a trigonometry course. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught In The Geometry Level?

The Student Pack includes solely the student workbook and the test booklet; the Digital Pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively.

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students. Download sample pages from Building Thinking Skills Book 3 Verbal (PDF) Building Thinking Skills Verbal These thinking skills books are among our favorites because of their tremendous scope. In this edition, they develop four basic analytical skills (similarities/differences, sequences, classification, and analogies) through verbal problems only. In addition, there are problems dealing with How Alike and How Different?, Deductive Reasoning, Diagramming Classes, Mixed Analogies, and much more. Studies have shown that students using these books have significantly raised their national test scores in content and cognitive tests! What's more, these books are never dull!

Building Thinking Skills Verbal
These thinking skills books are among our favorites because of their tremendous scope. In this edition, they develop four basic analytical skills (similarities/differences, sequences, classification, and analogies) through verbal problems only.
 
In addition, there are problems dealing with How Alike and How Different?, Deductive Reasoning, Diagramming Classes, Mixed Analogies, and much more.
 
Studies have shown that students using these books have significantly raised their national test scores in content and cognitive tests! What's more, these books are never dull!

Building Thinking Skills Book 3 Verbal

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students. Friendly Biology Any text that uses Lego figures to discuss genetics has earned the moniker "Friendly!" Friendly Biology, with its clear, colorful diagrams and abundant photos, introduces the world of biology to high-school students in a gentle, non-intimidating manner. Written by a homeschooling husband and wife team, Friendly Biology covers mitosis and meiosis, genetics, taxonomy, ecology, an overview of all human body systems, and much more. With meaningful lessons and spot-on lab activities, Friendly Biology will not merely teach your teen biological terms and processes, but it should also give him awe and respect for both the splendor and complexity of living things. We were especially pleased with their tasteful yet complete discussion of human reproduction. This program includes 28 lessons (10-25 pages in each lesson). A microscope is not required. This program will contain high-quality images from a high-powered microscope. The lab activities in the set use items that can be found already in your home or can be purchased at your local store. Many of the labs are consumable. Literally, you can eat them! Friendly Biology is available in both a religious and non-religious version. The difference is removing a few Christian worldview-based comments from the secular edition. Completing Friendly Biology and all the included labs provides your child with a year's high school credit in Biology. The Friendly Biology Set includes the Textbook, Student Workbook, and the Tests and Solutions Manual. The Lesson Tests and Answer Key also contains answers for the Student Workbook.

Mand Labs Premium Kit - Version 4 Targeted toward complete beginners, Mand Labs Premium Kit uses 165 industrial-grade electronic components and tools, two guidebooks, 9 hours of online discussions, and step-by-step, app-based instructions to encourage your teen to learn at his own pace. Mand Labs Premium Kit is both impressive and maybe a tad bit intimidating. Yet the 57 electronic project instructions are tested by 20,000 users to ensure that they are intuitive and easy to use. The Mand Labs Premium Kit's award-winning carrying case opens up vertically into a workstation lab with multiple drawers and compartments to house trays of components, tools, and manuals. The Mand Labs Premium Kit's case was designed to keep the footprint area to a minimum, with compartmentalized space within it for all the parts. Indeed, one of the most robust electronics courses on the homeschool market, Mand Labs Premium Kit includes switches, circuits, wires, sensors, motors, breadboards, probes, pliers, and a multimeter and does not require any soldering tools. For teens who find the science behind electronics overwhelming, we suggest that they merely watch videos for concepts, assembly, and reference. You will be amazed at how many electronics principles they will absorb by just assembling the projects. The guidebooks are useful for an in-depth understanding of electronics. Mand Labs Premium Kit's course topics cover 20 percent of IGCSE Cambridge Curriculum and 30 percent of AP Physics C, including electricity and magnetism. From the Manufacturer: The all-in-ones Mand Labs KIT-1: STEM Electronics Kit is your most comprehensive do-it-yourself (DIY) learning kit that takes you on a journey of 60+ hands-on projects from fundamentals of electricity to advanced concepts of transistors in electronics and robotics. And everything is step-by-step. No prior experience in electronics is required. As a beginner, you start with simple hands-on projects, learn to use a digital multimeter and grab the basic fundamentals of electricity, including charge, voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s law, and Kirchhoff laws. As you advance, you start learning about new components, make more complex projects and progress both in terms of knowledge and skill levels. At the start of book-2, you will be able to build interesting projects such as automatic night lamp, H-Bridge (motor driver circuit used in robotics) and many more. The kit is a great companion for parents who want to provide early practical exposure to their kids, teachers who want to demonstrate the concepts of electrical science & semiconductors, students who want to learn physics by doing, and hobbyists who want to brush up their basics. In the premium version, you get three extra projects including IR Security Alarm system, joule thief (drawing energy from a dead cell), and temperature sensor. Features Who Is it for: Middle and high school students STEM educators running maker spaces, physics labs, and robotics programs Homeschooling parents DIY enthusiasts and makers What's New in Version 4? Wire cutter and stripper is now made of Stainless Steel (SS) and has a new design with a thumb grip A more durable screwdriver is included which can unwind switch terminals and multimeter screws with ease A new 12 V Piezoelectric buzzer with 4.2 KZ frequency is replacing the older 12 Volt 2.4KHz magnetic buzzer in Version 3 The portable breadboard box now comes with magnetic locks instead of swap buttons A more tactile microswitch with a 120gF operating force on the lever is introduced Lead Free Solder (Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5) is used for all soldering joints All LEDs are now professionally packaged in moisture free anti-static bags - four different colored bags for each color Learning videos in the USB Flash drive now come with subtitles (English) 24 Micron Polyolefin Shrink Film is used for sealing multimeter, books and KIT-1 box Mand Labs KIT-1 Box is re-engineered for durability, strength and usability.
