90 mini-books to build to learn and review the mathematics teaching contents of the first grade of primary school in a fun, engaging and motivating way. Mini-books are small thematic 8-page booklets, each dedicated to a specific learning content. Each mini-book features easy exercises to do and images to color to develop logical- mathematical prerequisites and counting skills. In fact, children learn numbers up to 20 and basic operations quickly and easily.

Starting from an A4 photocopy, children  independently build mini-books using their creativity and fine motor skills: folding, cutting precisely, mentally rotating and predicting the result, and experimenting. Not only that, the minibooks enrich the shelves of their pocket mini-library represented on the final page of the book.

At the beginning of each section of the book there are theoretical indications on the processes involved and a laboratory part closely connected to the contents of the minibooks.

Mathematics with 90 Mini Books – 1st Grade

Workshops and activities for primary school


 

The book presents 90 mini books to build for learning and reviewing the mathematics teaching contents of the first grade of primary school in a fun, engaging and motivating way. Each mini book features easy exercises to do and pictures to color.  The activities are designed to be started and concluded in one lesson, so as to avoid the "fatigue" effect in starting, quitting and resuming an activity.

The exercises are divided into 6 sections:

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Counting and numbers up to 20
  3. Additions and subtractions to 20
  4. Numbers over 20
  5. Problem solving
  6. Geometry

Before each section, you will find a theoretical introduction and indications on the materials to be used to carry out the activities, an explanation of the progress and objectives of each activity.

For each proposed topic, laboratory proposals are included for group work to be carried out with the whole class.
