Math Mammoth Grade 1-A Worktext (Canadian Version) (Light Blue)

Math Mammoth Grade 1-A worktext (Canadian version) is the student book for the first half of grade 1 mathematics. It covers addition within 0-10 subtraction within 0-10 and place value with two-digit numbers. The worktext contains both the necessary instruction and the problems & exercises and is fairly self-teaching. Please note this is a student worktext and does not contain answers.Features of the curriculum: Math Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY" so your children can understand the math not just learn "HOW" to do it.Concepts are often explained with visual models followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however it is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.There is a strong emphasis on mental math and number sense.It requires very little teacher preparation which is a big benefit to most teachers/parents.: )The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.After each chapter introduction you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games quizzes animations etc.) that can be used for fun illustrations and further practice.For addition and subtraction facts you can use our online practice program (free).
