Materials for the Early Childhood and Elementary classroom, organized by curriculum area. Each one picks up where the teacher’s presentation leaves off, inviting children to work with it independently and return to it again and again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most materials arrive laminated, cut, and ready for the shelf, so a set can go out the week it arrives with no preparation. The Money and Fractions materials are the exceptions and require assembly. Each product page notes which applies.
The materials stand on their own, and a teacher who already knows the presentations can put them on the shelf directly. What the manual adds is the presentation itself: how the set is introduced, the language used with it, the control of error, and the direct and indirect aims behind it. The two are designed to work together, since the material gives the child something to work with and the manual gives the teacher the reason and the method behind every step.
Selected Early Childhood materials are published in Spanish and are grouped in their own category.
