ForewordThis list of learning resources identifies high-quality resources that have been recommended by the Ministryof Education to support the curriculum, Mathematics 2. This list will be updated as new resources arerecommended and older ones are no longer available. A list of core learning resources can be found on theMinistry of Education website.(CAN) indicates that a Canadian contributed to the development of the resource and/or that it includes Canadiancontent. (SK) indicates that a Saskatchewan person contributed to the development of the resource and/or thatit includes Saskatchewan content. (FNMI) indicates that a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit person contributed to thedevelopment of the resource and/or that it includes First Nations, Métis, or Inuit content. Resources evaluatedand recommended as support for the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol curriculum frameworks andSaskatchewan’s provincial curricula have the designation (WNCP) before the annotation.Other resources beyond those recommended in this list may effectively support the curriculum, Mathematics 2. Itremains the responsibility of educators to preview and select materials that best meet the needs of their schoolor community. Educators should choose resources in accordance with their school division’s learning resourcesselection policy.Pricing of the learning resources in this document is subject to change without notice.Manipulatives are an essential component of an effective mathematics program, leading to the developmentof deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Included are charts outlining the types of manipulativesneeded, and the suggested quantity recommended (where appropriate). Some manipulatives may be collected;others may be constructed; and many may be purchased. The main distributors for these materials are ExclusiveEducational Products at www.exclusiveeducational.ca and Spectrum Nasco Educational Supplies Ltd. at https://education.spectrum-nasco.ca/. Please consult these companies’ catalogues for purchasing information.The Ministry of Education expresses its appreciation to publishers, producers, and distributors who haveprovided learning resources for evaluation, and gratefully acknowledges the contributions made by educatorswho served as evaluators.Mathematics 2v

Living in medieval Italy, Leonardoconstantly thought about numbers. People calledhim blockhead because he daydreamed aboutnumbers.

Many activities lendthemselves to small group and whole class discussions.Varied instructional strategies encourage students toutilize and develop critical and creative thinking skills,problem-solving skills, and mathematical reasoningabilities. Recording sheets facilitate the collection ofdata, and the organization of students’ thinking. Manyof the literature suggestions may be found in schoolor public library collections. Teachers are encouragedto use this resource as a stepping stone to using otherliterature as the basis for mathematical explorations.4National Council of Teachers of Mathematics1906 Association DrRESTON VA 20191-1502(800) 235-7566(703) 620-9840Fax: (703) 476-2970Email: orders@nctm.orgWebsite: www.nctm.orgPrice: 36.95 U.S. pbk.Pagination: 282 p.ISBN: 978-0-87353-553-3Copyright: 2004Year Recommended: 2006Mathematics 2
