DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) - A digital book file format. DAISY books from Bookshare are DAISY 3.0 text files that work with just about every type of access technology that reads text. Books that contain images will have the download option of ‘DAISY Text with Images’.

BRF (Braille Refreshable Format) - Digital Braille for use with refreshable Braille devices and Braille embossers.

MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) - Provides audio only with no text. These books are created with a text-to-speech engine and spoken by Kendra, a high quality synthetic voice from Ivona. Any device that supports MP3 playback is compatible.

DAISY Audio - Similar to the DAISY option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.

EPUB - A standard e-book format that can be read on many tools, such as iBooks, Readium or others.

Word - Accessible Word output, which can be unzipped and opened in any tool that allows .docx files

The Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition series of elementary math textbooks and workbooks is meant to be part of a system of learning in which adult supervision and independent practice go hand in hand. The main feature of this series is the use of the Concrete-- gt Pictorial-- gt Abstract approach. The students are provided with the necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages active thinking, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving. This helps develop the foundation students will need for more advanced mathematics. Practice exercises are designed to provide the students with further practice after they have done the relevant workbook exercises. Review exercises are provided for cumulative reviews of concepts and skills. All the practice exercises and review exercises are optional exercises.Level 2A covers Numbers to 1000, Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Length, and Weight.Format: Paperback, 112 pages Pubisher: Singapore

Primary Mathematics, Textbook, 2B, Standards Edition

by Jennifer Hoerst

The Primary Mathematics Standards Edition is a series of elementary math textbooks and workbooks from the publishers of Singapore's successful Primary Mathematics series. Newly adapted to align with the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, the program aims to equip students with sound concept development, critical thinking and efficient problem-solving skills. Features of the series: Mathematical concepts are introduced in the opening pages and taught to mastery through specific learning tasks that allow for immediate assessment and consolidation. The modeling method enables students to visualize and solve mathematical problems quickly and efficiently. The Concrete > Pictorial > Abstract approach enables students to encounter math in a meaningful way and translate mathematical skills from the concrete to the abstract. The pencil icon provides quick and easy reference from the Textbook to the relevant Workbook pages. The direct correlation of the Workbook to the Textbook facilitates focused review and evaluation. New mathematical concepts are introduced throughout a spiral progression that builds on concepts already taught and mastered. Metacognition is employed as a strategy for learners to monitor their thinking processes in problem solving. Speech and thought bubbles provide guidance through the thought processes, making even the most challenging problems accessible to students. Color patch is used to invite active student participation and to facilitate lively discussion about the mathematical concepts taught. Reviews in the Workbooks for 1A-1B and regular reviews in the Textbooks and Workbooks for 2A-5B provide consolidation of concepts learned. The glossary effectively combines pictorial representation with simple mathematical definitions to provide a comprehensive reference guide for students. Answer keys booklets are not included, but are available - one for Primary 1A-3B and one for Primary 4A-6B.
