STEAMStart builds from the simple need to construct a \"home\" to the very complex structures required to bridge a river. STEAMStart presents \"literacy components, cross-cutting standards and authentic assessment with math at every turn and corner (as well as edge and vertex). Outcomes require patience to design reasonable solutions to real-world problems. In the process, students use core skills in aesthetically beautiful project-based learning. Fabrication requires the development of a logical sequence and network: build spatial awareness; use math skills in real world challenges; develop problem-solving tools; increase manual dexterity and attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning shapes is great. Doing short-term interactive projects that involve shapes is even better. Turning those projects into inquiry-based challenges takes things a step further. Involving students in long-range projects that require multiple steps, depth of knowledge, and true integration of science and math is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is the format of these STEAM explorations?\u003cbr\u003e ENGAGE: Each activity uses a read-aloud book to jumpstart the investigation and engage students.\u003cbr\u003e EXPLORE: Get students up and moving to activate that extremely useful muscle memory.\u003cbr\u003e EXPLAIN: Each activity includes a brief background for the purpose of introducing the subject matter.and guiding discussion about the explorations.\u003cbr\u003e EXTEND: Although each of the 5 units containing a total of 25 investigations is written to stand alone, together they also build knowledge required to meet a long-range project referred to as Module 1' In this long range project, students will ultimately be challenged to help Rhombi prepare for a trip.\u003cbr\u003e ELA Build skills in communication, writing and speaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52511935856947,"sku":"9781942357292","price":47.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MzZlcEVuYk5TdDBWcTJMTHJDMWpKQT09.webp?v=1760335036","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/steam-tales-read-aloud-stories-for-kindergarten-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
