Author Kathryn Gomes explains the concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning progression in Exploring Creation with Mathematics.
I’m so thankful we found this curriculum at the beginning. I am not strong in math and it was my biggest concern about homeschool. The author has made math fun and easy to teach!
I love that this curriculum has a lot of hands on activities, which allows the child to digest each topic in a healthy way. I love how each game shows the application of each math topic and makes learning math so much fun! My first grader always looks forward to the games in each topic.
