Each unit creates a story line for learning and sets up a situation in which there is a reason to use mathematics. The units vary in difficulty but share a common format. Each begins with several pages meant to help the teachers organization and preparation. Next comes the story or lesson that establishes the central problem and then the activities for the class to complete. Several scripted student to teacher conversations are provided to help the teacher see how children may respond.
Appendices contain necessary materials and blackline masters.
