Graphics: D.S. Boyd
The program is color-coded and designed to teach the following:
Kit 1 (Salmon): Shapes, Tallest and Shortest, Longest and Shortest.
Kit 1 (Yellow): Counting and Quantity. More Than and Less Than, Time on
the Hour.
Kit 3 (Blue): Addition (combinations to 10)
Kit 4 (Green): Subtraction (combinations to 10)
A game, "Going to the Moon," and a chart showing the correct way to write numbers are also included.
Review:
If author Elizabeth Person could only be persuaded to invent a Beginning
Math II kit, with counting up past 100, skip counting, reverse counting
from 20, money and time to the quarter hour, with those two itty-bitty programs
you'd be able to do everything it took the University of Chicago experts
pages and pages of instructions and $200 of manipulatives to accomplish. Do it, Elizabeth!
