Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical

cubes are one of the most universal math manipulatives out there. You can apply
them to a variety of math lessons from simple addition/subtraction to graphing
data. This set comes with a sturdy frame, 8 sets of cubes in 8 colors, 15
double-sided activity cards, an answer key, and an activity guide. The cards
have a range of skills and challenges which will suit a variety of learners.
You could have one student working quietly on a few cards while you are working
with a sibling. You could actively use a card in your lesson for the day, you
could get 2 sets and have students face off in challenges! Cards are 7”
squares, each cube is 2cm. ~Sara
Mathlink/Multilink cubes are a very versatile manipulative since they can be attached on all sides. These activity books make use of the unique properties of multilink cubes in varied exploratory activities. The Primary Book has activities to teach concepts of patterning and symmetry; counting and place value; addition and subtraction; multiplication and division; problem-solving and spatial reasoning; graphing and probability; estimating and measuring; and fractions. The Intermediate Book covers problem solving, fractions, probability, and algebra-readiness. The book uses a discovery approach, beginning with a question at the beginning of each exploration. First students think, then they "do", using the mathlink cubes to try to solve each of the 43 problems. I like the combination of practicing math skills with learning problem solving skills. Very well done.
