Q:What do I do with the students when they don’t all finish activities at the same time? A: Anchor activities.

Anchor activities are meaningful learning tasks that students do independently .

    As the introduction entitled “Who Needs this Book?” indicates, this book is attractive to me because I would really like to provide more opportunities for my higher-functioning students to extend their learning, but I don’t have time to create complete units. The book sets up eight complete units, with teacher background information, extension suggestions, well-formatted answer keys, simulated primary sources, rubrics, and student reproducible guide pages. Another attractive feature is that, while some units focus on math, which I teach, they also integrate with other subject areas as occurs in real-life. I am excited about using this resource!
