Malcolm Chun takes the reader through the fascinating story of how Native Hawaiians learned, why learning and knowledge were prized in traditional society, and how two systems—native and foreign—combined to achieve one of the highest literacy rates in the world. A‘o offers traditional and historical examples that provide insights into the practices of learning and teaching in a native society, bringing together cultural and educational perspectives to help parents, teachers, and administrators develop new ways of learning that are relevant to a culturally based native community. This book is one of eleven short volumes of the Ka Wana series, which is part of the Pihana Na Mamo Native Hawaiian Education Program.

The Teacher's Manual includes synopsis of each chapter and section, learner outcomes, definitions of key concepts, directions for student activities, and possible responses to questions posed in the text. Co-published by University of Hawai‘i Press.

What did it mean to be a daughter in imperial China? How did the concept of extraterritoriality affect China's ability to control foreigners in the nineteenth century? This innovative inquiry-based social studies program for high school students uses role-playing, simulations, debates, primary documents, first-person accounts, excerpts from literary works, and cooperative learning activities to help student explore these and other key aspects of China's history and culture. This book can be used as a supplement to traditional world history texts or international and area studies courses. Co-published with the University of Hawai‘i Press.

Twenty-four selections of Chinese music from different time periods and locales. Liner notes include English translations of lyrics along with historical information about the selections. Total playing time 63:09. Co-published by University of Hawai‘i Press.

The teacher's manual, essential to deriving full value from using the student book, contains reproducible handouts, timelines, chapter summaries, main ideas, objectives, instructions for activities, and answers to questions.

A comprehensive and readable account of the history of Hawai'i presented in three chronological units: Unit 1, Pre-contact to 1900; Unit 2, 1900–1945; Unit 3, 1945 to the present. Each unit contains chapters treating political, economic, social, and land history in the context of events in the United States and the Pacific Region. The student book features primary documents, political cartoons, stories and poems, graphs, a glossary, maps, and timelines. The activities, writing assignments, oral presentations, and simulations foster critical thinking.

Getting Started contains simple and engaging problems to get your students started in practicing behaviors (communication, representation, and reasoning) to create a positive learning environment essential to deepening students' understanding of concepts. RMU is a new series designed to help middle-grades students gain a deeper understanding of important mathematics topics. Each unit features topics developed through problem solving; concepts developed over time; problems that invite communication among students leading to critical thinking; problems that help students make connections among topics; and labs for more intense study. Each unit includes teacher notes, blackline student masters, and suggested assessments. Use RMU as the basis for a curriculum program or to complement your current program. Choose topics according to your students' needs.

In Motion Geometry, students study concepts of geometry they will use throughout middle grade and higher-level courses. The problems help them develop the spatial reasoning they can apply to other topics such as number, measurement, proportional reasoning, and graphing on the coordinate plane. RMU is a new series designed to help middle-grades students gain a deeper understanding of important mathematics topics. Each unit features topics developed through problem solving; concepts developed over time; problems that invite communication among students leading to critical thinking; problems that help students make connections among topics; and labs for more intense study. Each unit includes teacher notes, blackline student masters, and suggested assessments. Use RMU as the basis for a curriculum program or to complement your current program. Choose topics according to your students' needs.

In Measurement, as students explore the properties of geometric measurement (length, area, volume, and angle measurement), they learn the procedures for measuring objects. Students use concepts and skills from many areas of mathematics, such as number and operations, geometry, graphing, and proportional reasoning. RMU is a new series designed to help middle-grades students gain a deeper understanding of important mathematics topics. Each unit features topics developed through problem solving; concepts developed over time; problems that invite communication among students leading to critical thinking; problems that help students make connections among topics; and labs for more intense study. Each unit includes teacher notes, blackline student masters, and suggested assessments. Use RMU as the basis for a curriculum program or to complement your current program.

Traffic is a unique, integrated mathematics unit for middle-grades students that helps build their skills in collecting data and analyzing statistics. Traffic helps make math approachable, understandable, and fun. It focuses on important mathematics and realistic tasks by using real-time data from the Internet along with technological tools such as spreadsheets and graphing programs. Traffic aligns with the NCTM 2000 Standards and complements curriculum materials you already use. Traffic is presented in two units that are complementary although not defendant on each other. In Traffic Unit One, students become familiar with the Internet site and topic, choose and create appropriate graphs representing traffic data, and analyze and compare data sets using measure of center and spread. This unit is recommended for students who are new to creating graphs and calculating measures of center and spread. The unit takes about two weeks to complete. The Traffic units are a complete package of teacher and student materials. A CD-ROM of printable text files is included, allowing you to customize your student handouts.
