Math Makes Sense! is a unique series of workbooks for students from
first through fifth grade, as well as our special Middle School
Foundations with NCTM's Curriculum Focal Points and Connections.
Most importantly, Math Makes Sense! follows the
guidelines and the spirit of the Focal Points by:
• Focusing on the development of number sense and a deep
understanding of focal concepts
• Combining conceptual and factual practice. Meaningful
practice ends math anxiety and builds number sense.
|
MMS! is perfect for general instruction as well as
supplemental instruction for students "left behind" by other
math instruction! MMS! is very easy to teach and is being used
in classrooms, clinics and home schools across the country.
