Description
Using a story method, Addition the Fun Way uses visual clues, associations, and mnemonics to help children associate numbers to math facts, which allows them to learn their addition facts.
The stand-alone Student Kit includes three components: The Story Book, the Workbook, and the Clue Cards. Story Book offers ten illustrated stories with visual clues to help children associate numbers to the math facts. While it covers zeroes through ten facts, the math facts for threes, fours, fives, sixes, sevens, and eights are taught with pictures and stories, while numerical tricks are used to teach zeroes, ones, twos, and nines. It also includes a Pre and Post Test.
The consumable Student Workbook provides a quick overview for the parent/teacher, a lesson plan outline and black and white worksheets, timed practice sheets, pretest/posttest, and quizzes. The Student Workbook is reproducible for a single classroom or family. Answers are found in the back of the book. The double-sided Clue Cards (flashcards) includes the problem on one side with answers on the back. Illustrated with the number characters, they help students make the transition from story to math fact.
We are also offering the Story Book separately, for families who prefer to focus on memorization through visual clues and associations.
Addition the Fun Way provides younger children and older struggling math-phonic children the ability to master the foundational addition facts in a fun, low-stress way. Best of all, once mastered, the author's Times Tables the Fun Way gives children the visual and story associations necessary to tackle the multiplication facts! ~Deanne
