Publisher's Description of DK Workbooks: Math: Learn and Explore Grade Pre-K
Focusing on the very basic principles of math including counting to ten, shapes, money, and reading and writing numbers, DK Workbooks: Math: Pre-K will help preschoolers learn and understand first math concepts. Developed in consultation with leading educational experts to support curriculum learning, DK Workbooks: Math is an innovative series of home-learning math workbooks that is closely linked to school curriculum and helps make learning easy and fun! Each title is packed with exercises and activities to strengthen what children learn in school. With clear questions and supportive illustrations to help children understand each topic, the books provide practice to reinforce learning and understanding of key concepts, such as fractions, times tables, and shapes. A parents' section contains answers, tips, and guidance to provide support, and a certificate of achievement will reinforce confidence in kids by rewarding their accomplishments. Supports the Common Core State Standards.
A get-the-job-done series of workbooks. Cleanly illustrated with an accent color, there is little practice per concept but broad coverage of concepts (CCSS aligned). The books start from a pictorial concrete perspective (pictures of items) and skills build through the books. Instruction is minimal and relies on examples. A sheet of gold stars is provided so the student can keep track of his progress through the worksheets. A certificate of completion for the student and a reduced student page answer key for the teacher conclude the book. Paper is heavy (will hold up under erasures) with a super nice finish (not quite glossy). These are short (47 worksheet pages each), quality workbooks providing additional practice or ensuring that you've covered Common Core standards. 60 pgs, pb ~ Janice
