Book Description

Kids can say goodbye to math anxiety with the help of the learning techniques introduced in this series of teacher-aides. Drawing on visual and kinesthetic learning strategies instead of abstract concepts, even students who have always struggled with computation can become math whizzes. Each book is designed to replace the drudgery normally associated with rote memorization with the satisfaction and success gained from engaged, hands-on learning. The key is recognizing visual patterns that exist between numbers when they are arranged in global "wholes." These visual patterns provide multiple pathways for computation and recall, and are especially suited for kids who have had little success with traditional learning techniques. These resources are packed with handy blackline masters of worksheets, assessments, and overheads, and provide a comprehensive program for elementary math skills. The third addition to the series explores single and multi-digit computation, place value, word problems, and strategies for various learning styles.
