Get them personally involved in solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and watch their motivation and progress add up.
101 Math Activities for Calculating Kids puts every child who uses the book front and center, basing each and every math activity and question on his or her unique personal experience. As children learn about themselves, they'll also be exploring addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Practice and reinforcement will give students many opportunities to experience success and gain the confidence they need to master the most challenging concepts.
Best of all, these math activities will compel students to use their thinking skills and look at math in a meaningful new context that may extend to future math experiences in school.
About the Author
Tracy Ann Schofield is a free-lance editor and dedicated mother and wife. She began writing for children shortly after the birth of her first son, when she discovered the joy and mystery that is childhood. Delighting especially in spring and autumn, she loves nothing more than stomping in puddles and shuffling through crispy, brown leaves with her three children: Matthew, Patrick and Stephanie.
