HOLIDAY GREETINGS

Christmas Tree.jpg

May the spirit of the Christmas season (or the special one of your choice) be with you and your family.

Take time to be with your family and friends. Recharge your batteries. Remember in your prayers those who are less fortunate than you throughout the world. Pray for those who suffer hunger, fear, disease, injustice and oppression.

PEACE

This GollyGee BlocksĀ® scene was developed to address math standards in early elementary math education. The objects depict comparisons for shorter/taller and longer/shorter. These are comparisons that K-1 children should understand. This is just one simple example of how visual constructivism can be used in elementary math education.
