**Notice that not all lessons in a Harcourt Chapter are included. These were intentionally removed because they do not address Common Core Standards. You will not need to fill time with activities unrelated to the standards. Instead use this gift of time to help your students develop a deeper conceptual understanding of the mathematical concepts presented in the standards.
