Kindergarten Success Kit

The first challenge for any kid beginning to learn math is how to understand the real meaning or value of a number.

For example: What is a number 3? What is a number 3 vs. a number 5? In other words, how many is each number worth compared to each other?

The CountFast Number Story helps kids to better understand the meaning and value of numbers by teaching them why the numbers are named what they are.  Each numbers' name is significant to its value - this is the true story of numbers and their names.  Even teachers and parents will learn something new!

This is the very first card deck in the CountFast series—so naturally we need to start from the beginning.

This deck is designed for early learners that are just starting to become familiar with numbers. It is critical that a child has a deep understating of the each number to make math easier as they progress.

Learning the numbers is like learning the alphabet for reading and writing. The deeper the understanding of the number, the easier it makes math moving forward.  An investment of time and practice at an early age will prove to be very beneficial as math concepts become more challenging and complex.

After a child has been introduced to the numbers, you can introduce them to the concept of addition and subtraction.

For math or for any new subject that a student is learning, it's important to understand the definition and meaning of the vocabulary that are involved in the subject. This deck is designed to introduce the meaning of addition and subtraction. Addition and subtraction are the most basic aspects of math.  Later math concepts build upon addition and subtraction, so it is important to have a good understanding of how to add and subtract.

This deck is designed to give kids a hands on, interactive lesson.  Kids will use their hands to move cards and numbers around to solve equations.  Physical interaction is important to learning and helps develop a deeper understanding of these new concepts.

Once students can correctly identify numbers and know the basic concepts of addition and subtraction, they will be able to play Game Theory 1 & 2.  This deck is a fun game that builds upon addition and subtraction skills, while only using the numbers 1 & 2. Using only the digits 1 & 2 makes this game easy enough for Kindergarten age students to play.

This is a fun game for the whole family to play. During this game you will have to use the concepts of addition and subtraction but the actual math is very simple.  While also practicing math skills, the more you play, the more you will also learn strategy skills.

Game-theory is an excellent tool for thinking strategically because to win the game you need to anticipate what the other players may do and also which cards they may have.

This kind of strategic thinking is important in so many aspects of life and business. If children can learn the concept of strategy at an early age, they will be a step ahead towards being successful!
