Both are designed to be used as a daily supplemental routine that will complement your current math curriculum. Popular for being so very teacher-friendly, this product is a favorite of both progressive and traditional teachers. When you order this kit, you will receive a teaching manual.
Primary children use the demonstration pieces to master place value concepts that include rounding.
In addition to the concepts listed above for primary children, some other concepts explored by intermediate children include multi-digit multiplication. These primary children are building a four-digit whole number using the primary demonstration pieces. Decimal numbers, such as 2.5017 are easily modeled by older children with the intermediate demonstration pieces, as shown here. Together you and your children will use grids and dots to help your children develop useful visual images of mathematical concepts and processes. Appropriate for grades K and higher, this large group routine will help you model the correct use of the written language of mathematics in a constructive, visual context.
