Description
I Can Do Math is a simple tool teachers can use to help kids have fun and build foundational math skills. The 90 single-page, reproducible lessons involve children in developing fine motor skills as they explore key math concepts. Children use color to demonstrate what they know and solve engaging puzzles and exercises as they measure, cut, and fold their own library of unique minibooks. Based on curriculum essentials for K–2 students, the activities investigate counting and numbers, addition and subtraction, problem solving, and geometry. Ideal for active learning, meaningful review, and assessment throughout the year.
