Prepare your child for math success with board games, stickers, and more Make learning early math skills fun vs. chore. With cute, creative activities such as Helpful Squirrels and Addition Fun with Animals, the world of numbers becomes a playful adventure. Kids open Math Readiness: A Press-Out Book and right away find bold, bright reward stickers. Unique to this workbook are press-out fish pieces and a fishbowl game board. Using these "manipulatives" adds hands-on practice to two-dimensional learning and develop overall number sense. Filling the fishbowl, kids practice using numbers and number sets, can see and match number symbols to a group of objects, and can describe groups as having more, less, and same. After pressing out the pieces store them in an envelope or small, resealable plastic bag. All throughout the workbook the activities progress from easy to difficult; promote self-directed learning; sharpen focus, memory, and mastery; and offer unlimited learning experiences. This workbook's math curriculum incorporates the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics as well as standards published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It's a great take-anywhere learning tool
