| Create a Math Environment | |
 |
Create a Math Environment is a parent helper for those who want arithmetic made touchable. It is a supportive tool, intended to introduce mathematical concepts in the home and to produce familiarity before it is studied in depth in a formal school environment; it may also serve as a reinforcement tool after a concept has already been taught. Age specifics for each concept are given and instructions clearly tell parents or teachers what they need to know in presenting ideas to the learner. A busy parent or teacher can turn to a page and find an activity that teaches a concept within a manageable time period. The parent gains a quick understanding of the objective using the materials suggested. Sometimes a diagram illustrates the procedure.
