New Interactive Math Enrichment Kit Changes the Way Math is Taught to Young Students

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - July 1, 2013 - PRLog -- (June 28, 2013) Catasaqua, PA  - Did you know that teaching mathematics no longer needs to remain a boring and frustrating endeavor for parents and instructors? It’s a certain fact that math skills are essential to a successful academic program, whether in pre-school, elementary grades, or beyond. In all walks of life and in every career path, mathematics will come into play.  That’s why Bridgeway Academy of Catasauqua, PA set out to change the way math is taught to young learners with the launch of their interactive kit that includes online activities in the accompanying instructor guide.

Bridgeway’s Discovery Math Kit is hands-on, with online activities incorporated into the accompanying instructor guide. The kit is designed specifically to engage children and parents in math concepts, and encourage them to investigate, explore and solve a wide variety of problems.  

“The methods utilized are easy to assimilate and are designed to be used with any curriculum,” said program coordinator Kimberly Kulp.  “It’s really hands-on – the Math Manipulatives are proven to enhance the understanding of math through visual representation, and excite kids while doing so.”  Kinetic, or hands-on learning techniques, are fast becoming the wave of the future for innovative teachers utilizing the newest learning strategies.  It’s proven that kids learn while doing –and using all the senses – instead of just absorbing information verbally or visually.

The Discovery Math Kit from Bridgeway Academy includes over 75 math activities and such manipulatives as mini-geo solids, Unifix cubes, pattern blocks, and geoboards.  The activities help to develop mathematical skills and helps kids think logically and critically.  The kit can be used by any student, traditional or homeschooled. They specifically correlate with ACE, AOP, and Scott Foresman math programs, but cover universal math concepts for grades K through 3.  Essentially, they can correlate with any math program.
