Numbers Book (Memoria Press)

Description

> Teach numbers with these simple, uncluttered workbooks from Memoria Press. These workbooks are part of the classical core curriculum for their Junior Kindergarten program. Book 1 covers numbers 0 through 15. Each number is taught and reviewed through varied activities on each of the dedicated four pages. Activities include tracing the number, counting, coloring, drawing, and connect-the-dot activities. It also provides an impressive introduction to beginning critical thinking skills. For example, this question appears on the coloring page for the number eight: "What does a picture of an octopus have to do with the number eight?". Book 2 covers numbers 16-20, then introduces counting up through 100. Activities are also diverse and include tracing, number line activities, recognizing odd/even numbers, connect the dots, pattern recognition, and others. A 100 number chart is included at the front for the counting and number line activities. Both books offer an appendix with reproducible practice pages. Available individually or in a set. 72-96 pgs, pb. The optional Coloring Book focuses on numbers 0-12. Each 2 page spread provides an enlarged number to color along with simple activities to reinforce the number and a picture to be colored. 55 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne
