Description
Many teachers don’t know how to design child-directed math activities and often wind up relying on teacher-directed activities that emphasize memorization.
Greg Nelson provides pre-designed, child-centered activities that engage and challenge students to learn math at their own level. Teachers place these easy-to-construct, inexpensive activities “on the shelf” for children to use when they are developmentally ready and interested.
