From Unit Plan: Maggie's Earth Adventure
 

From Maggie's Website

SPECIAL EDITION GAMES CD (dual-language English and Spanish)
Learn the state capitals with "It's a Capital Idea", test your math facts with "Around the World in 80 Seconds" and spelling patterns with "Password Puzzler or Fish 'em Up". On this CD you will find these and 13 other curriculum games on the CD. These games are ideal for the home PC where children have limited access to the internet or in older classrooms which are not on-line. In addition, watch animated cartoons and join Maggie and her friends as they travel the world to learn more about such key environmental issues as over-fishing, air pollution, energy conservation and wildlife habitats.

Maggie's Archived Material
Access nearly 1,000 pages of classroom-ready activity sheets from lessons in reading comprehension to math; from quotation marks to sentence structure and from Michigan to Mali. Annual subscription price: $15.00.

Maggie's Math Mania
Maggie's Math Mania offers 100 pages of reproducible math packets that are sure to engage and challenge your students. As differentiating and integrating are essential goals for teachers today, Maggie's Math Mania is the ideal comprehensive resource that will enable you to accomplish critical educational objectives. The activities in Maggie's Math Mania have been specifically designed to be completed independently. Independence is at times synonymous with calculation yet we at Maggie's Earth Adventures have a strong commitment to problem solving. We encourage students to think mathematically and to explain their thinking. This philosophy allows many of the activities to be used in math journaling as well as to be completed independently.
