FOUNDATIONAL LITERACY Read It F Follow Zach as he takes you through a comic convention where you will learn all about comic books and the fans that adore superheroes. Show off your strategies for division as Zach divides his attention among the exhibits, events, and people who bring comic books to life. Ask It A Look at pages 18 and 19 of the book. What division questions can you ask? Model It B Write a division story that goes with 1,008 ÷ _______ = 42. Solve the problem. Talk about It A Look at the Math Talk questions on the inside back cover of the book. Talk about one question with a partner. Estimate It A If comic books cost $5 each, about how many could you buy with $321? What strategy did you use to estimate? Explore It F Complete the Let’s Explore Math sidebars on pages 13, 21, and 27 of the book. Solve It B Complete the Problem Solving activity on pages 28 and 29 of the book. Prove It A Tyler thinks that whenever someone divides two numbers, the quotient is always less than the dividend. When might this not be true?

Do you know how it was built? There are many people and steps involved. Workers draw blueprints, drive bulldozers, pour concrete, and paint walls. Check out this construction site— where an idea becomes a house and a house becomes a home! Objective Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real-world and mathematical problems. Mathematics Vocabulary area dimensions perimeter Cross-Content Connections (Engineering) Sometimes, architects build brand new buildings. Other times, they improve existing buildings. Have students brainstorm, plan, and build models to show how they would improve the layout of the classroom if they were architects. (Social Studies) The design and function of shelters depend on the environment. Have students draw detailed pictures of their homes and assess how their homes offer them shelter in their environment. i20148 You Can Count on Me! ❑ I read the entire book. ❑ I asked questions and wondered about the topic. ❑ I stopped to summarize and remember what I learned. ❑ My response shows my ideas. ❑ My response uses words and ideas from the book. ❑ My response is neat. ❑ My response makes me proud. Reading Response Checklist TCM 29951 (i20147) Reading Levels Lexile®: 640L Guided Reading: N Mammal Mania Book Summary Discover the wild world of mammals. Mammals live under the sea and in the deserts, the forests, and jungles. Mammals are in your own living room, too! From the desert rat to the mighty elephant, you will come face-to-face with these interesting creatures. Objectives • Use information gained from illustrations and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text. • Identify real-life connections between words and their use. • Use details from the text to explain what the text says explicitly and to support inferences. Academic Vocabulary carnivores offspring primates habitats omnivores rodents herbivores predators vertebrates hibernating prey Cross-Content Connections (Mathematics) Have students use the chart on page 22 to mentally calculate the differences in life spans of the various animals. Ask them to choose six different animals to compare, and ask them to record their findings. Discuss students’ data. (Science) Have students look up different kinds of mammals, using the text and other resource materials, and list them on charts. Then as a class, create a group chart to sort the animals into three groups: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Use the descriptions and details from the text to help students classify each mammal. HA HA! Laugh a Lot Laugh a Lot “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Doris.” “Doris who?” “Doris locked! That’s why I’m knocking!” Do you like jokes, pranks, funny stories, or just goofing around with your friends? If so, you’re in luck! Recent scientific research shows that laughter is good for you. In fact, in the study of laughter, or gelotology, researchers have discovered a number of ways in which laughter is good for you. Laughter has been scientifically proven to reduce stress. Watching videos of stupid pet tricks, listening to a funny comedian, or witnessing your principal or coach get a pie in the face at the local town fair can all give us the giggles. These antics lighten our moods and decrease the levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol and epinephrine, found in the body. These stress hormones can wreak havoc on the immune system, leaving the body open to viral or bacterial invasion and general poor health. But laughter counteracts these effects and strengthens the immune system. Some scientific studies show that laughter reduces blood pressure and increases vascular blood flow. Laughter boosts circulation and increases the flow of oxygen in the blood. This is all good exercise for your heart and improvement to cardiovascular health. Our bodies can also benefit from a free and widely available natural pain reliever— laughter! In a difficult moment, laughter can ease fears and anger. This is because laughing releases endorphins. Endorphins are proteins in the brain that block pain receptors and deliver a sense of well-being to the brain. Laughing is also good for your social life. Think about the last time you hung out with your friends. Did you do any laughing together? Most people like to be around other positive, happy people who find the humor in life. Laughing can be a great icebreaker when you’re meeting new people. Laughing with others allows you to bond and build relationships with others. And the more you get to know someone, the easier it is to laugh with them. Many people say laughter is the best medicine. Maybe that’s true. It’s definitely the funniest! LOL HA HA! HA HA! LOL HA HA! HA HA!
