Summary

A treasure chest of activities that interweaves mathematics and literature with cooperative learning and the spellbinding interest engendered by collections of small everyday objects (the "treasures"). Activities build real-life, practical understandings of graphing, sorting, and classification while encouraging cooperation, sharing, and an appreciation for the many ways we can recycle and reuse materials.
