About the Product

These teacher-facilitated notes will not only solidify students’ mastery of all the related math standards, but will do so in a fun way that makes students feel as though they are in a hybrid class of math and art.

The visual aids and geographic models in Number Notes help students to not only grasp the procedural knowledge, but also to dig deeper, shedding light on conceptual understanding.

After the students are finished filling-in the notes and coloring, notes like these make a great addition to math journal. They also look terrific on bulletin boards - or perhaps even in a gold leaf frame atop the fireplace.
