Lesson objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of the lesson so you’ll know exactly what you’re teaching.

Individual items in the kit are also available. If you teach children in multiple grade levels, a Color Math Super Kit is also available, so only one kit must be purchased. The Super Manipulative Kit only covers grades K to 4, but an upgrade kit can be added for a 5th-grade student. The 5th Upgrade contains an angle ruler, protractor, and compass.
