Wonder Number Learning System (Pre-K - 9th grade)

The Wonder Number Learning System includes sixteen lessons that will help students learn math concepts from basic counting to simplifying fractions. We must emphasize again that before you attempt to teach the lessons, you have to play the games first. The reason the system works is that when children are familiarized with the board and its contents through game playing, they find it easier to grasp the concepts being introduced in the lessons. Students are more receptive to learning from a game they have already had fun playing. When you look closely, the first thing you will notice about the Wonder Number Board is that it's a hundreds chart that has been enhanced with colors and shapes to highlight many of the concepts commonly difficult for children to learn and comprehend. Each of the numbers from 1 to 10 in the top row has been assigned a color. Whenever one of these numbers is a factor of another number, you will find that colored number in a consistent place throughout the board (see colored numbers, 1-10, at top above). This patterning enables children to understand in a strong visual way that all multiples are made up of various factors. The top row of numbers also features an array of dots in the lower right hand corner of each block which corresponds to the individual number.
