All About Math Starter Package

This bundle contains what you need to get started with All About Math.

• Manipulative Kit
• All About Math Level 1

If you are teaching multiple students, you will want to purchase additional student packets.

Note: The manipulative kit is a one-time purchase per household, ready for use with All About Math Level 1 and future levels of All About Math.  It arrives in a sturdy plastic bin with a locking lid to make storing the manipulatives easy. One kit will be enough for 2-3 children working at the same time, and more than enough if the children are working on math separately.

Includes:

• 50 Two-Color Counters
• 100 Connecting Cubes, 10 each in 10 different colors
• 40 Counting Bears, 10 each in 4 different colors
• Base-10 Blocks, 1 thousands cube, 10 hundreds flats, 50 tens rods, and 100 units cubes
• 51 Fraction Tiles, 1 whole, 2 halves, 3 thirds, 4 quarters, 5 fifths, 6 sixths, 8 eighths, 10 tenths, and 12 twelfths
• Ruler
• Protractor
• Dry-Erase Pocket

A frequently asked question:  “I already have a lot of manipulatives. Can I just use what I already have?” This is the publisher’s response:  While you may be able to substitute other manipulatives at times, our manipulatives were carefully chosen to make specific concepts clear. You may have to make your own adaptations to lessons to use different manipulatives, and that may cause some lessons to be less effective.

Please Note: The level does not refer to grade level.  The lessons are mastery-based, not grade-level based.  Place your student according to their current ability rather than age/grade level.  Many children may begin when they are five, while others may begin when they are older.

• Use the Level 1 placement test to determine if your child is ready to begin Level 1
• Use the Level 2 placement test to determine if your child is ready to being Level 2
