Grades 4-5
Beyond the Bubble for grades 4-5 is divided into five strands-number, measurement, algebra, geometry, and probability-with six problems per strand.  Each problem includes an overview of the objective of the test question, a sample question typical of those found on standardized tests, strategies students employ to solve the problem, conversation starters, student work, student-teacher conversations, and instructional strategies to advance student learning.   Teachers will also find suggestions for differentiation, reproducibles of sample questions, and a comprehensive list of additional resources.  With dozens of sample test questions and numerous student samples, Beyond the Bubble shows educators how to use multiple-choice tests to provide more purposeful, focused mathematics instruction for all of their students.
