Early Elementary Math Software for IWB



Now available for $19.95 at AMAZON for U.S. Customers!

Buyers outside the U.S.A. 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

I'm hooked on Amazon's KINDLE -- a Christmas gift this year. As a computer technology teacher, I am usually VERY critical about the latest tech gadgets -- particularly those products related to education and learning.
But the KINDLE is everything Amazon says it is, and more.
The screen resolution is top-notch. I've read from it for over 3 hours at a time, and I experienced no eye strain (my eyes are suffering after 3 hours reading from my laptop.)
The controls are simple and easy to use, and downloading was a snap!
I've been a fan (and customer) of Amazon for years. I'll continue to buy from Amazon, but its all Kindle downloads from here on out!
Academic Superstore is now offering a vast array of interactive, whole class teaching software! Check them out!
