In a math journal, children explore their own ideas about numbers, shapes, and patterns through drawing or writing in response to a question. Journaling teaches them to see with mathematical eyes – not just to remember what adults tell them, but to create their own math.

The books are full of games that can be played by your family to help children grasp the important concepts needed to be successful in math. Using items like playing cards, dominoes, dice, poker chips, and even a cribbage board, these games help your children learn and practice their math.
