For a parent who already has math manipulatives from last year’s Exploring Creation with Mathematics, this set includes just the additional items needed for this year’s math lessons. ~Sara
Hands-on activities, manipulatives, and consistent math practice come together in this course to equip students to master math skills including multiples and factors, long division, prime numbers and prime factorization, decimals, fractions, percents, integers, and one-step equations. Along with mastery of these important skills, students also learn measurement, data, and probability, and are introduced to Algebra and Geometry. Each unit offers a skills practice, hands-on activity, and practice pages for a multisensory approach which is unusual at the higher grade levels. Required math manipulatives include fraction tiles, 3D Shapes, and a protractor. Household items are also necessary, and a four-operation calculator is suggested. An optional manipulative kit is available for your convenience.
