Homepage for New Math TeachersWelcome to Terri Husted's Homepage!
A Homepage for New (And Not So New) Math Teachers . Teaching is an on-going learning experience. You will be challenged to use many approaches and methodologies.

Applying Big6 Skills™,
Information Literacy Standards and ISTE NETS to Internet Research "The new education must teach the individual how to classify and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to change categories when necessary, how to move from the concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from a new direction - how to teach himself. Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn." -- Herbert Gerjuoy
The Big 6 Kids For K to 12 Students
Big6 The Big6 is an outstanding approach to teaching information and technology skills in the world. Used in thousands of K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and corporate and adult training programs, the Big6 information problem-solving process is applicable whenever people need and use information. This official Big6 Web site provides overview and in-depth information about the Big6. The site is aimed at educators, administrators, parents, and anyone else interested in helping students to learn and use essential information and technology skills.

The Big Six is an information literacy curriculum, an information problem-solving process, and a set of skills which provide a strategy for effectively and efficiently meeting information needs. Developed by Michael Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, it can be used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, which requires information to solve a problem, make a decision or complete a task.

The books, which should be available at public libraries, are divided into 10 broad categories: addition, counting, estimating, fractions, geometry, graphing, measurement, money, multiplication and division, and number sense. Please let us know how the books work in your programs. Also, please share other titles that belong on the list. Happy reading!
