Patterns in Arithmetic, Book 1

by Suki Glenn, Susan Carpenter

Patterns in Book 1 is a collection of lessons, games, and activities. A separate workbook has all the worksheets needed by the student. It is a book about teaching mathematics for home school and classroom teachers. A goal of this book is to have students learn to think as mathematicians think. Children learn addition, subtraction, patterns, place value, and logic, and are introduced to multiplication, division, and fractions by building models, looking for patterns, playing games, making generalizations, and recording discoveries in ways that make sense to them. Children learn by doing, exploring, and inventing. The clear instructions and fun activities help children learn by using inquiry methods. They learn arithmetic by doing mathematics. An answer key to the student workbook, Evaluation tools to assess the student, a Sequence Guide for planning, and helpful dialogues from actual lessons are included.

Just started using this series as a supplement to our regular math. So far we really like it.
