Learning Wrap-Ups [elementary grades - junior high]
Learning Wrap-Ups help to increase speed in fact recognition. Each Wrap-Up has twelve items on its left side and twelve on its right that need to be matched properly. For example, the Wrap-Up for multiplication by the number 4 has the numbers 1 through 12 in mixed order on the left, with products of 4 times those numbers on the right (in mixed order). Grooves next to each number allow the user to guide the attached string from a groove on the left across to the groove next to the corresponding answer on the right. The string continues around the back and forward through the next groove on the left. When all grooves have been used, the user looks at the back of the Wrap-Up. Raised lines show where the string will lie if all grooves have been connected properly. If any lines are showing, there is an error.These are fun to work with, easy to handle (great to take along on trips), and effective learning tools. They are sold in sets of 10 Wrap-Ups, with sets available for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, numbers, shapes and logic, and fractions (identification and equivalencies).
The Math Intro Kit includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions, plus a 16-page guide and four accompanying audiocassette tapes. These can also be purchased individually.
Those working on multiplication might also be interested in a companion book, 10 Days to Multiplication Mastery [$9.99]. This 132-page book is loaded with ideas for using the multiplication Wrap-Ups as well as other simple manipulatives along with worksheets and interactive activities. A few of the activities are classroom-oriented, but most are appropriate for home educators.
Learning Wrap-Ups for Pre-Algebra should be very helpful to children in grades seven through nine. The Pre-Algebra set consists of 50 Wrap-Ups covering topics like signed numbers, algebraic expressions, solving for unknowns, factoring, squares, square roots, and area formulas. For hands-on learners, this is a great way to reinforce and practice math.| Pricing and Purchasing | |
