Overview: The two main character's family is summoned to Egypt to uncover a pharaoh's burial tomb.  The two sibling get trapped inside one of the pyramids with their dog and must find a way to the burial chamber and a way out by using the geometric drawings that are found on the way!  What a fun book to introduce the topic of geometry to younger students or to use as a review tool after learning new shapes.  The book will keep students hooked while either engaging prior knowledge or evaluating their new found skills!

# data[].attributes.body
This game also can be downloaded on iPads if this applicable with your school! This game is a great tool for students to be able to visualize and see different shapes in a 2-D form and learn the specific features of the shapes they are currently learning. This game will also appeal to students since it is online and a great way to incorporate technology in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A red band has been placed on the board for you.
To create more shapes, drag a band from the tool bar to the board.
Use the color palette and fill tools to change the way the band appears.
Write on the board with the pen tool. Erase part or clear all.

Another fun book that could really draw students in to learning about fractions! I highly recommend connecting it to real life objects or events that a student can relate to. Fractions are typically a struggle for students, so tying it into their own lives or making the subject fun is the best way to help students! This book is a fun way to look at fractions and seeing why all fractions goals are to be a whole!

A fun book to tie into a lesson when students are first learning about heredity! This book tells the tale about a boys's traits that he has inherited from both sides of his family (dad's side goes front to back and mom's goes from back to front). The books is very visually based, so it'll be great for students to see how traits are passed down from generations! This books can be used to introduce the topic of heredity or to go into a text that can relate to all students.

# data[].attributes.body
To tie in the learning standard of this Big Idea, the students can be engaged with this cute little worksheet as they decide whether the Zebra's traits were inherited or learned/acquired from it's environment.  This worksheet can be done as a guided practice activity or even collected to use as an assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
This website offers  a game that students can play to work on their skills and explore through the concepts of heredity!  There are levels for beyond 3rd grade, so students who are excelling and need a challenge can go on to explore themselves. This website will serve as a great resource for extensions activities for students or for students to learn without knowing it.  The biggest downfall is it is an app that will need to be downloaded, other than that students will love this open-ended game!

This book can be incorporated into the unit, because it is centered around true and false questions that are based off of wild weather. This could be a fun activity to do with students at the end or beginning of a lesson.  Reading this book aloud for students, you could engage them by asking if the questions is true or false and getting their feedback by a raise of hands or thumbs up or down.  Either way this book can test a student's background knowledge or new knowledge about storms.
