MATHEMATICAL THINKING CLASSROOM KIT
Eight modular block sets are grouped together for classroom exploration of mathematical concepts keyed to the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) standards, K through 2nd grade. The materials and accompanying Teacher's Guide (including an Assessment Addendum) focus on specific NCTM standards--problem solving, communication, reasoning, connections, estimation, geometrical and spatial sense, measurement, and patterns and spatial relationships. The video documents children in kindergarten through 2nd grade as they work on the challenges and investigations detailed in the Teacher's Guide.
Includes complete sets of the following:
Arcobaleno
Colorframes
Cubes, Bobbins, Beams
Curvilinear
Framebuilder
Prismatic
Pyramid
