RightStart Mathematics Level D Lessons Second Edition

Description

RightStart Mathematics is a comprehensive math program for children that is easy to teach and provides the foundation for everyday life, for advanced math, and for science in our technological world. The research-based elementary and intermediate RightStart Mathematics program is easy to use: the lessons tell you what to teach, and how and why, day by day and year by year. This unique program uses visualization of quantities, de-emphasizes counting, and provides visual stategies (mental pictures) for memorizing the facts. Understanding is emphasized. Math needs to be taught so 95 percent is understood and only 5 percent memorized. When children don't understand, they memorize until the burden becomes too great and then they give up. When children understand, they need less time in review and practice. The second edition RS2 Level D works on the meaning and properties of multiplication and division, along with the basic facts. Other topics include numbers to millions, area and measurement in both the metric and U.S. customary systems, fractions, and graphing. The children continue work in geometry and angles using drawing tools. Problem solving with all four operations is emphasized.
