Time after time, experience shows that learning by manipulating physical objects with one’s own hands — learning by doing things firsthand, rather than being told about them or reading about them in a book — is extremely effective. Thames & Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of nine hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking.

Workbooks are the essential supplements to textbooks as they give students the opportunity to practice applying new concepts. Workbook exercises polish analytical skills and help students develop a stronger foundation in math through repetition and variation. Features & Components:

• Basic Practice: Simple questions that drill comprehension of concepts.
• Further Practice: More difficult questions that involve direct application.
• Challenging Practice: Questions that require synthesis.
• Enrichment: Questions that demand higher order thinking, analysis, and reasoning.

The answer key at the back of the book provides answers only. Worked Solutions (sold separately) contain fully worked solutions. Note: Two workbooks (A and B) correspond to the two halves of the school year. Soft cover.
