Instructional Resources for Students
If you're looking for instructional resources for your classroom, our large inventory can help you introduce students to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), teach critical thinking skills, review the periodic table and practice drawing shapes. Some popular types of instructional resource products include the following:- Learning mats: Learning mats often feature helpful review materials and sit neatly on a student's desk. For younger students, they might include letters of the alphabet paired with images to represent them or traceable outlines of shapes. Many learning mats can be used with dry-erase markers or washable crayons for easy and interactive practice. Older kids can use learning mats to reference the anatomy of the human body, label a map of the United States or practice the periodic table.
- Books: We also have loads of instructional resources for teachers focused on topics such as daily activities, differentiated instruction and summer bridge activities. They may include worksheets, lesson plans, assessments and cross-curricular learning. These books can take much of the grunt work out of these activities and speed up your lesson planning.
- Interactive DVDs: DVDs can show students precisely how to do something and supply printables. For instance, a DVD on graphic organizers can show students how to create and use Venn diagrams, timelines and other organizers. Then, you can provide them with clear printouts that match what they just learned and allow them to practice the new skills accordingly.
