Just What the Doctor Ordered!

I teach students who struggle with math and have found the activities in this book to be just what they need. My students love the hands-on activities that have helped them develop a real understanding of the concept of multiplication. The journal activities have expanded their communication skills, and they have learned to express their thoughts better as a result of the prescribed instruction. They are more tuned into patterns in math and think they're "cool!" They are amazed when others solve a problem using a different strategy than theirs. The "Circles and Stars" game is a favorite.
