Publisher's Synopsis
Addition and Subtraction with LEGO and BRAINERS
makes the foundations for students' success in MATH and Algebra:
- Common Core State Standards
- preparation for standardized tests such as SCAT(R), CogAT(R), MAP(R), etc.
- covers each grade level in great depth to develop reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
- procedural fluency
- modeling and building with Lego bricks
- number sense strategies
- step-by-step strategies
- information coding (color-, border-, line coding)
- visualization and play
- creating a foundation in how numbers work
- alive, engaging, and fun explanations with Brainers
- good training for teachers in how to explain math concepts
- favorite children's font
- answers with step-by-step solutions.
Number Sense Strategy problems implemented within Common Core Math Standards are aimed for students to develop and apply logic and mathematical reasoning skills. The math problems evolve in fun and engaging ways to reinforce visual understanding and make foundations for algebraic thinking and computer programming operations' skills.
Visualization and play with LEGO bricks are the most effective instruments to develop conceptual understanding and cognitive domain reasoning for second-graders.
Numerous Number Sense strategies help students become comfortable and confident with math concepts. Addition and subtraction problems are challenging, but they evolve gradually with Brainers' explanations, and thus, help students build and expand their critical thinking and analytical skills, and reasoning.
