A starter list of lesson idea resource books

Here are the books I brought to show you in class. Many of these are math resource books for K-8 -- but you might still find them useful for kids in Grades 8 and 9, especially those who need help catching up on topics they didn't learn fully before high school. (There are often many kids who need to go back and relearn topics like fractions/decimals/percentages and beginning algebra.)

Secondary math resource books:

Brahier, Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics

Elementary and middle school math resource books:

The late John Vanderwalle wrote highly-acclaimed and excellent resource books --
