Math Number Crew Ideal for Interactive Whiteboards



Now available for $29.95 at AMAZON for US Customers! Buyers outside the USA may purchase through EBAY.

The Number Crew is a suite of 5 CD-ROMs covering math topics for grades K – 1. Children watch video segments introducing concepts and discuss the story lines and the math with their classmates. Topics are reinforced with entertaining and interactive exercises.

With an interactive whiteboard or data projector, each program can be used to effectively teach whole classes, or individual students can review topics as needed.

Children are given the opportunity to represent their ideas in many ways throughout the year. They draw pictures; make graphs; use manipulatives to model situations; and use numbers, tallies or objects to keep track as they count.

Lesson notes are provided with suggestions for class discussions and feedback.

The Number Crew Suite includes 5 Number Crew CD-ROMs:
Know Your Numbers 1
Know Your Numbers 2
Calculations
Measures, Shapes and Space
Solving Problems

This blogger LOVES the Amazon Kindle!

I received the new Amazon Kindle as a Christmas gift, and I am hooked! The screen display is excellent -- no strain on my eyes, simple to operate, downloads were a snap. Amazon, as usual, has taken the lead with this amazing product! I've been a big AMAZON customer for a number of years, thanks to their selection, pricing and customer service. I encourage all teachers to check it out!
