Time after time, experience shows that learning by manipulating physical objects with one’s own hands — learning by doing things firsthand, rather than being told about them or reading about them in a book — is extremely effective. Thames & Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking. A set of two plastic tracks, numbered from 1 to 100, and 50 rods that slide along the center of the track Used to develop skills in counting, sorting, sequencing, pattern recognition, measuring, addition, and subtraction Visual and hands-on math learning Also compatible with Kids First Math Number Rods Durable plastic for long-term use and easy cleaning Contents: 10 number track pieces in 2 colors, 50 sliding rods (1-cm to 10-cm in length, each in 5 colors), plastic storage box Product Information Ages: 3+ Experiments: 10 Piece Count: 60 Manual Pages: 2 Item # 568002
