The Midwest Book Review calls Striker Jones a "fun and rollicking series" with "effortless teaching of both cooperation values and basic economics." The Striker Jones Teacher's Companion is a self-contained economics curriculum for elementary school students. Used alongside the first Striker Jones novel, it is aligned to Common Core reading and language arts standards.Organized according to the ten chapters in the book, each lesson explores the economic concepts raised in Striker Jones. The lessons include vocabulary, discussion topics, fun group activities, and individual assignments.Best of all, this curriculum does not require any previous knowledge of economics on the educator's part. It's ready to go! "Striker Jones is an excellent text for older elementary students beginning to grasp more and more complicated economic concepts. Through its easy flowing narrative with lots of conversational dialogue, children will learn to see that economics affect their daily life far more than they realized!" - Rutgers University Project on Economics and ChildrenBuying more than one?
