Description

This math Kit I covers the same content as the ShillerLearning Basic Math Kit 1: multiple years’ worth of skills taught incrementally using three different spiral-bound texts. Students as young as 3-4 begin in Book 1, for example, with shapes and numbers and logic. By lesson 21, they are introduced to the decimal system. Skills spiral, so for example, you’ll see writing number practice, followed by a lesson on counting and using higher numbers. Then students will spiral back and review skills. Follow the student’s pace as you work through the 196 lessons in Book 1 and 151 lessons in Book 2, which work through double-digit math and multiples up through number 9. Book 3 continues with the decimal system, money, calendar, geometry, mental math, commutation, and Roman numerals, and ends with area, working towards abstract, pre-algebraic skills—113 lessons in total.

This Shiller Kit I includes Lesson Books I, II, and III; lifetime digital access to consumable PDFs of consumable student pages and review test scoresheets; and an introductory parent guide. All manipulatives needed are included in this kit: Math Songs CD; 22” x 32” work mat; wooden decimal tray with 100 unit cubes; 28 ten rods; 28 hundred flats; seventeen 1,000 cubes; 108 color-coded number cards in a partitioned wood tray; 108 number tiles; yellow foam ball; balance; safety mirror; ruler; dice; velveteen bag; geared clock; measuring cups; 64 geometric shapes; plastic coins; 8 crayons; and pencil. Answer Keys, consumable pages, scoresheets and other items on the previously included CD are now included as lifetime digital downloads. Upon purchase, email Shiller Math your receipt or proof of purchase and the link for digital downloads will be emailed to you.

Category Description for ShillerMath Kits (1 -2)

This Montessori math program was designed specifically for the home school. Structured as a two-stage math program with unique manipulatives, the program’s scripted lessons equip parents in conveying math concepts using the unique methodology. Concepts are taught spirally while also building upon each other. Each lesson starts by highlighting the lesson objective, the manipulatives needed, and the learning style addressed. The teacher guidance is easy to follow, and students respond by doing or answering. A multitude of learning styles are utilized while building on previously learned skills. Review Tests provide periodic evaluation.

There are two kit levels (I and II) available that span skills from PK up through grade 8. However, for Level I, two choices are available. Both versions of Kit I are intended for children ages 4-8 and are complete math programs for up to 5 years of instruction, depending on the student’s learning pace. Both Level I options include Lesson Books I, II, and III, but the number of included manipulatives varies. Kit 1 Basic includes the Lesson Books I, II, and III and the Parent Guide (a “get you started” tool), but only includes the more difficult-to-find manipulatives. Kit I also includes Lesson Books I, II, and III and the Parent Guide, but adds in all the needed manipulatives. See each kit description for specific details. Both kits include directions to obtain lifetime PDF access to print out consumable student worksheets and review test worksheets.

Level II retains the open-and-go approach, teaching math skills equivalent to grades 4 through 8, including pre-algebra. As students progress, they may need you as the instructor to come alongside them, guiding their learning and helping out when needed. This kit also includes lifetime PDF access to consumable student worksheets and review test worksheets.
