Black Gems In Stem: An Academic Success Workbook

Description

Black Gems in STEM is an academic workbook for 4th and 5th graders. As suggested by the title, the workbook showcases 10 Black people in STEM fields. Each section consists of a reading passage about the featured Black Gem in STEM. The passage is followed by related reading, writing, and math questions, as well as two fun activities. While the content is aligned with the 4th and 5th grade Common Core Standards, the questions are structured similar to those found on the SAT, with the intent of providing students early exposure to the exam, which many students wait too long to begin preparing for.
