Purposeful Design Science - Grade 3 Teacher 3rd Edition

The Teacher's Edition is available as a spiral bound book or as an e-book. The new edition still provides an overview of the curriculum, the standards and content of the lessons, a worldview statement, a suggested teaching schedule, the scope and sequence of the lessons, assessment information, and safety guidelines. There is also information on how to access the downloadable teacher resources including blackline masters (including assessments and tests), digital masters, computer presentations, and answers to the blackline masters. Blackline masters are meant to be printed for the student while digital masters and computer presentations are meant to be projected to the student's digital device. All teacher resources, however, can be printed. Each chapter begins with "key ideas" and the objectives of the chapter, vocabulary words, materials needed for the lesson, and the list of standards met. Each lesson gives helpful step-by-step explanations to teach the lesson and includes the objectives, specific materials for each lesson, any preparation needed, and directed instruction. There are also "recovery" and "extension" exercises to further reinforce concepts and meet the varied needs of learners. These exercises will sometimes use the downloadable blackline masters and give specific instruction for which masters to use. At the end of each two-page lesson is a small format copy of the student pages with answers. The last lesson of each chapter is review. A glossary (listing the highlighted vocabulary words from each chapter) and an index are also included in the back. Obviously, there are a lot of resources in the teacher edition and this is clearly set up for a classroom; however, the homeschool parent can easily adapt it to their specific family needs.
