Welcome to RainbowResource.com — Learning Tools for Homes and Schools Serving Home Educators Since 1989

A wonderful alternative to written drills for the kinesthetic child, but exciting for all children. Use these anywhere - no pencil or paper required! Buy 2 sets and have a “wrap-off”! How about a “relay-wrap” at your next support group meeting? Each set contains 10 boards (120 problems), colorful wrapping strings, and instructions. As a plus, the left-to-right wrapping motion may reinforce the tracking skills vital to reading! Wrap-Ups can be bought individually, or in an introductory 5-pack kit. All introductory kits include an addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions Wrap-Up. Kits may also include four Wrap-Up Rap CDs, with one for each topic except fractions. CDs help guide the listener through the “random” wrapping process for each board by singing math facts, with and without answers. CDs can be purchased separately and used with or without a Wrap-Up.

Workbook and Wrap-Up sets are now available for all Wrap-Ups except fractions. They can be used as supplements to a text or as a mini-curriculum. Each 32-page workbook (new editions contain 64-page workbook), titled 10 Days to (fill in an operation here) Mastery, contains ten days worth of lesson plans and worksheets. Lesson plans are detailed and easy to follow. All sets come with a CD; Multiplication is available with or without a CD.

Also available for purchase are the 10 Days to Multiplication Mastery Book and Workbook, which are different from the multiplication workbook in the Workbook and Wrap-Up sets. This book takes a commutative approach to learning multiplication, and it includes more worksheets and more thorough teaching instructions per lesson. Suggestions for extended activities and games are also provided. 125 pgs. The inexpensive student workbook corresponds day by day with the teacher’s book and includes seven worksheet pages per day. Worksheets provide a variety of activities for the student to practice their facts including: drills, multiplication “tricks,” story problems, and time goals to meet for completing the Wrap-Ups. 62 pages, non-reproducible.

Go straight for this set! Save money and have a convenient case to store these in as well! This is one more thing to add to your tool kit for practicing those boring basic math facts that every kid would benefit from knowing right off the top of their heads! These are hands-on, self-correcting, and indestructible. These will last for all 5 of our kids (and future grandkids as well....) What a simple, rather inexpensive, and great academic investment!

These are so much fun for my kids to use that they will actually pick them up spontaneously to review. My 7 year old is working through memorizing his math facts to 20 and this definitely takes the drudgery out of that exercise. My almost 5 year old really enjoys doing the one more than board and I can tell she will be climbing the addition trail in short order. Wonderful product (I love it so much I just ordered the whole set).
