Let’s Do Mathematics

Re ga le du ca tio n

Let’s Do Mathematics is a series covering levels K-6 and is fully aligned to o the United States Common Core State Standards (USCCSS). Each level consists of two books boo (Book A and Book B) and combines textbook-style presentation of concepts oncepts pts as well as workbook practice.

Central to the USCCSS is the promotion of problem-solving skills ls and reasoning. Let’s Do Mathematics achieves this by teaching and presenting ng g concepts through throu a problem-solving based pedagogy and using the concrete-pictorial-abstract pictorial-abstract torial-abstract ((CPA) approach. Learners acquire knowledge and understanding a ng off concepts through thr th guided progression beginning with concrete examples and experiences which then w flow into pictorial representations and finally mastery at the and symbolic level. e abstract an a This approach ensures that learners develop a fundamental understanding of concepts damental ental understa underst rather than answering questions by learned procedures edures es and algorithms. algorit

Key features of the series include:
