A volcano is the open passage from the interior of the Earth that allows the outflow or explosion of fluid rocks and gases from the interior (mantle) to the surface of the solid crust in the form of lava. This activity leads to the creation of a mountain, which in everyday language we call a volcano. The term volcano mountains and later simply volcanoes is etymologically derived from the God of fire and metallurgy Hephaestus, as it was believed that his forge was located within them. Volcanoes are fascinating because of their beauty, but also terrifying because they can cause great destruction. Although eruptions are rare and scientists usually manage to bring them under control, they are still a huge source of danger to the people who live near them. Find out about the biggest volcanoes in the world with this practical eBook. You can check your students’ knowledge with the questions at the end.

When we refer to things that will happen in the future, we often use something known as the Simple Future tense. When we talk or write about plans, expectations, schedules, and predictions, we often use the Simple Future tense. The Simple Future tense helps convey an action or state that will begin and end in the future. We use the Simple Future tense in declarative sentences to state that something is scheduled or planned. It communicates willingness and expresses an expectation, a prediction, or a guess. This highly practical ebook contains detailed explanations on how the Simple Future is formed, when to use it, and there are plenty of activities in the end for your students to practice and master it. Anwer key is also included.

When we describe an action in the Future Perfect Continuous tense, we are projecting ourselves forward in time and looking back at the duration of that activity. The activity will have begun sometime in the past, present, or in the future, and is expected to continue in the future. For example: “In November, I will have been working at my company for three years.” There are similarities and differences between the Future Continuous and the Future Perfect Continuous tense, which might cause confusion. The main difference is that we use the Future Continuous to predict the future, while we use the Future Perfect Continuous to talk about an ongoing action that will finish before another. This practical ebook will explain how the Future Perfect Continuous is formed, when it is used, and it will also provide plenty of examples and exercises. The relevant answer key is provided at the end as well.

The Future Perfect is a verb tense used for actions that will be completed before some other point in the future. For example: “The parade will have ended by the time Chester gets out of bed. At eight o’ clock I will have left.” The Future Perfect tense is used for talking about an action that will be completed between now and some point in the future. On the other hand, the Future Perfect tense is only for actions that will be complete before a specified point in the future. In other words, the action you’re talking about must have a deadline. If you don’t mention a deadline, use the Simple Future tense instead of the Future Perfect tense. In this ebook, you will find detailed explanations on how to form the Future Perfect tense, when it should be used, and many exercises for your students to practice. There is also the relevant answer key at the end.

The Future Continuous tense is a verb tense that shows an action happening over a period of time in the future. “I will be driving all night” is an example of the Future Continuous tense, as it indicates an action continuing over a specific future period of time. Compare it to this sentence, written in the Simple Future tense: “I will drive.” Although this example indicates an intention to drive in the future, it does not refer to a continuous action over a specific period of time in the future. The Future Continuous tense can be confusing because it sometimes seems interchangeable with other future tenses. This ebook sheds light to all the uses of the Future Continuous tense. It describes how it is formed, when it is used, and has ample practice for students, with plenty of exercises and examples. The relevant answer key to the activities is also included.

In fourth grade, the main focus of instruction should be on three key areas: mastering multi-digit multiplication and division with multi-digit dividends, understanding equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominators, and multiplying fractions by whole numbers, and recognizing properties of geometric shapes like parallel and perpendicular sides, specific angles, and symmetry. Students extend their comprehension of place value up to 1,000,000, grasping the relative magnitudes of numbers in different place positions. As they work on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers, students use their knowledge of different multiplication models like equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models, along with concepts like place value and the distributive property, to create, talk about, and implement efficient, precise, and adaptable strategies for finding products. Students gain knowledge of how fractions are equal to each other and how to perform operations with fractions. They understand that it is possible for two fractions to be equal (e.g., 15/9 = 5/3), and they create techniques for creating and identifying equivalent fractions.

During third grade, the main focus of teaching time should be on four key areas: (1) building comprehension of multiplication and division, as well as tactics for multiplication and division up to 100; (2) building comprehension of fractions, specifically unit fractions (fractions with a numerator of 1); (3) building comprehension of the patterns in rectangular arrays and area; and (4) describing and examining two-dimensional shapes. Students gain insight into the concepts of multiplication and division of whole numbers by participating in tasks that focus on equal-sized groups, arrays, and area models. In these scenarios, multiplication involves identifying a mystery product, while division involves determining a mystery factor. Students can understand the connection between multiplication and division by examining different solution methods. Students start learning about fractions by first focusing on unit fractions. Students can utilize fractions to signify numbers that are equivalent to, smaller than, and larger than one. They address issues by analyzing fractions through visual models and strategies that identify equal numerators or denominators. Students identify area as a characteristic of two-dimensional areas. Students connect area to multiplication by breaking rectangles down into arrays of squares, and they support using multiplication to find the area of a rectangle. Students talk about, examine, and contrast characteristics of two-dimensional shapes. Shapes are compared and categorized based on their sides and angles, and then linked to shape definitions. Students connect their fraction work to geometry by representing the area of a portion of a shape as a unit fraction of the entire shape.

During Kindergarten, the main focus of instructional time should be on two important areas: (1) comparing and representing whole numbers using sets of objects; (2) explaining shapes and space. Kindergarten should focus more on teaching numbers than other subjects with additional learning time. Students utilize numbers, including written numerals, to symbolize amounts and address quantitative issues, like tallying objects in a group; tallying out a specified amount of objects; contrasting sets or numerals; and simulating basic combining and separating scenarios with sets of objects, or later on with equations like 5 + 2 = 7 and 7 - 2 = 5. Kindergarten students can be shown addition and subtraction equations, and it is recommended that they practice writing equations, although it is not mandatory. Students select, merge, and utilize efficient methods for solving mathematical problems, such as promptly identifying the quantities of small groups of items, counting and generating sets of specific sizes, totaling objects in merged sets, or determining the remaining objects in a set after some are removed.
