This guide was developed to help elementary school teachers increase achievement of Hispanic primary-grade children whose first language is not English. It offers a curriculum plan, instructional strategies and activities, suggested teacher and student materials, and assessment procedures. Accompanying each complete unit in English is a Spanish version of background information for the teacher, as well as a Spanish version of the formal introductory portion of the lesson cycle.

Mathematics Lessons That Are Fun, Fun, Fun
Cynthia Lanius' site has interactive mathematics lesson plans (some in Spanish) that invite students to interact with the mathematics online. Teacher notes are included. The mathematics explanations are clear and would lend themselves to students working on problems with their parents at home. An important and helpful part of the lessons are the "thought" questions that are a part of the lessons.
