Essential core elements of mathematics to support early learning continued development, and as a reference to review during and after building a strong foundation. Seeing a broad overview and how the details make the math possible in just 6 pages can melt away some math phobia and will strengthen skills and grades. Written and tested in a classroom over many years, two teachers came to us with this reference they used with their students. A math textbook authoring group then expanded the series. With experts in the classroom and in textbooks developing the content, don’t pass up this 6-page laminated, inexpensive tool with the power to support the core areas of math students struggle with. Check other titles in the 5-guide series for the areas of support most needed.
