The Digital Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The brief activities allow students to apply problem-solving skills that are relevant to their lives, such as calculating the probability of picking a purple jellybean out of a jar of jellybeans, making a pie graph to display the makeup of Earth's atmosphere, or using known information to estimate unknown information.The warm-ups include an assortment of problems requiring varying degrees of prior knowledge. They vary in level of difficulty and the amount of time it will take students to solve them. Make them into laminated cards for student use, or you may want to use the activities as a test on the problem-solving skills that are built and acquired over time.

The Solve Practice Series provides meaningful practice and reinforces the 16 fundamental concepts and skills introduced by the CAMS Plus and STAMS Plus Series, while providing deeper practice. Each two-part Solve practice focuses on one concept or skill. Part one provides practice with the simpler aspect of the concept or skill, while part two provides practice with another more complex aspect of the same concept or skill to increase students' depth of knowledge. Each part begins with an example, typical for the concept or skill, which provides a model for students as they solve the problems independently. Following each group of four practices are two reviews that require students to make connections between topics, and apply multiple concepts or skills.

Strategies to Achieve Mathematics Success provides students with explicit instruction of 16 maths topics, which cover both concepts and skills, that have been identified as the most important instructional goals for each year level. Each STAMS Plus student book contains 16 highly scaffolded, five-part lessons. Each of these lessons helps students to become independent learners as they are moved through each of the five parts: modelled instruction, guided instruction, modelled practice, guided practice and independent practice. In this way, students are required to use increasing degrees of higher-level thinking to analyse and explain their answers as they move through practice problems that increase in difficulty, ultimately building student proficiency and confidence.
