The first Math Success program was originally written for Grade Two, and it has become a popular resource. Teachers have asked for a program with the same pattern of teaching and review to use in grade one. Finally there is a new program that is interesting to teach and successful! Math Success – Grade One has daily lesson plans and reproducible exercise sheets for 30 weeks of the school year, and includes speed sheets and weekly review tests. It teaches number patterns in different ways so every child will understand number relationships and the math concepts. Math Success – Grade One teaches the children to use manipulatives for understanding, but lessens the dependency on manipulatives that often slows later math procedures. The children will be adding and subtracting more efficiently and with greater speed and understanding.
