Getting Started is a complete guide to Bridges in Mathematics Grade 4. It includes information about the mathematical content throughout the year, materials, and classroom setup. It also details the philosophical and pedagogical foundations of the curriculum.
The four volumes of Bridges Teachers Guides include hour-long daily lesson plans for the entire year. Whole-group, partner, and independent work—as well as information about technology, homework, and assessments—are built into these lessons.
The two Number Corner Teachers Guides feature a year’s worth of brief daily skill building routines and exercises, including a calendar component. They also include four quarterly skill checkups and one baseline checkup along with additional support games and activites.
