- Decimals: Click here to download -- Think Math! introduces decimals in a way that is quite different from other programs, and much easier for students to grasp and master quickly. This PowerPoint presents the essential mathematical ideas, the Think Math! approach, and the reasons Think Math! takes this approach. Explanatory notes accompany the slides.
- Fractions: Click here to download -- Think Math! introduces fractions as numbers on the number line, and introduces order of fractions by comparing them to 0, 1, and then 1/2, developing all the ideas of equivalent fractions and the arithmetic of fractions naturally and directly connected with the arithmetic of whole numbers. The result is much easier for students to grasp and master quickly. This PowerPoint presents the essential mathematical ideas, the Think Math! approach, and the reasons Think Math! takes this approach. Explanatory notes accompany the slides.
- Multiplication: Click here to download -- Think Math! develops multiplication using the rich imagery of intersections and arrays, and using logic that students have been honing since kindergarten. This PowerPoint shows how Think Math! represents the meaning of multiplication (an image of multiplication and a sense of what questions multiplication answers) and how it uses familiar logic to develop the algorithm for multiplication (how answers are computed without tedious counting). Explanatory notes accompany the slides.
- Developing Mathematical Language: Vocabulary, Word Problems, Algebraic language Click here to download -- Young children are consummate language learners. Think Math! uses the way they learn language to help them learn mathematics: the conceptual understanding, the algebraic language, and even computational skill. It also recognizes the unique language of word problems, and uses several strategies to help children with this language, including a developmental approach to word problems.
