The book comes with a download link to our unique math manipulatives app for Windows. We are genetically encoded to learn and children are natural learners. For them the process of learning is a journey of exploration and discovery. Learning should be fun. Today we know more about how children learn than ever before. Then why is it that so many adults have a negative attitude towards maths? This book reveals how through the natural process of play, games and open ended activities that allow for personal exploration and discovery, young children can gain an understanding of maths concepts generally considered too advanced for them. The program uses the most precise arithmetical model ever devised – Cuisenaire Rods. The rods embrace all the learning styles and provide links to language and art. But this program is not just about maths – it is about learning, specifically 'learning how to learn'. Through interaction with the program children will acquire generic learning skills that will stand them in good stead whatever they are engaged in.

Algebra Before Arithmetic is the fourth video in the series supporting the Child's Play Math program. The video explains why it is far easier to introduce math concepts to young children using letter names (algebra) rather than number. This is the first of 63 videos that comprise a complete course for the introduction of math concepts to children from Kindergarten through Grades 1-5 . It is designed so children can work at their own pace. The first four videos are available for free. Future videos will be made available in sets of four with the accompanying Power Point Presentations. The course has also been used as an effective 'catch up' program for older children and adults who failed to grasp math concepts the first time round. The hands on play based nature of the program enables children to learn the way that suits them best as it embraces all the learning styles. Children using this program invariably acquire an understanding of concepts considered far too difficult for them.
