Students create their own methods for solving arithmetic problems. They use concrete materials to build and prove their answer. Then they are asked to solve it a different way and to verify that answer. Circle Math, unique to the Patterns in Arithmetic series, is used to guide students to many discoveries and to create algorithms. Learners create, routinely look for, and discover patterns in numbers and shapes. They invent problems for themselves and others, estimate, predict, and look for a

Teaching style

Hands-on, multi-sensory approaches, inquiry, and constructivist style of teaching. A child’s innate love of learning is encouraged through hands-on exploration, discovery, inventions, and the creation of models. These books are about how to think mathematically using a variety of approaches which encourage creativity and discovery of the beauty of numbers. Lessons have students build models, look for patterns, play games, make generalizations, verify and prove answers, and record discoveries in ways that make sense to them at their own individual pace. These books are a collection of lessons that will help parents, teachers, and students become better mathematicians.
