The Common Core Curriculum, and STEM: A Collection of Tools and Projects for Students, Educators and Parents for Educational and Employment Success

Many Educators, Parents and students are having difficulties teaching and understanding the new Common Core Curriculum and Stem/STEAM requirements in education and what they mean for a student's success in school and future employment. This book places the Common Core and STEM/STEAM within context, i.e., conceptually, using the scientific method, using critical reasoning, the importance of understanding math, and a way parents can help their child to understand some concepts in math. Part Two is a collection of inexpensive Hands-On project that students can do, either singly or in a group, projects that relate directly to many disciplines and skills needed for future employment in a rapidly changing world of science and technology, now transforming the workplace. The book contains many illustrations and how-to help suggestions. In part, the book is strongly focused on Early Childhood Education.
