Explore the Secrets of Math, Level 2, Book 2

Level 2 can be used for 2nd, 3rd or 4th graders. It can help students to learn the relationship between addition and multiplication through drama. Students can visualize multiplication and hone skills using word problems. Level 2 teaches critical thinking through regrouping skills, word problem solving strategies, the patterns of letters, sets, colors, shapes, clocks and fractions. This book will also help students translate algebraic thinking from drama to expression and much more¡K
