  Excite students about exploring and applying
many strands of mathematics: place value,
addition and subtraction, estimation, etc., as
they read about the comparisons between
Clever Calculator Cat and other animals. The
use of animal facts provide students with a
context for their computations and gives more
meaning to the calculations, while encouraging
effective use of the calculator as they become
more aware of reasonable and unreasonable numbers. The Teacher's Resource
Book is divided into eight thematic parts: Pet Store, Weight, Teeth, Speeds, Life
Spans, Babies, Wildlife Shelter and All About Cats. Teacher's Resource Book
has storybook follow-up activity sheets, extensions and mathematical objectives.
Grades 2-4.
