Working with Two-Color Counters: Engaging Activities for Fractions, Equations, Probability and Reasoning, Grades 5-8 (Book & CD-ROM)

Many elementary and even advanced mathematics concepts can be modeled nicely with two-color counters. This activity guide for grades 5-8 provides teachers with proven techniques to help their students better understand abstract mathematical concepts. Students use the counters to explore fractions, positive and negative numbers, equations, data analysis and probability concepts, and mathematical problems involving patterns and deductive reasoning. Accompanying CD includes digital version of book and virtual counters for whiteboard presentation.
