Sample Pages

Watch our podcast, "Soccer Teams" to see how MLS employs a graphic representation of concepts and procedures to provide a visual, tactile experience. In this method, students

  • discover the concept,
  • construct and experience amounts,
  • connect manipulation with computation,
  • self-correct, and
  • build a mastery of the concept of multiplication and division without rote drills or tricks.

Also watch our podcast on "The Progress Chart" to see how to use the chart, used throughout the book. It is a fun, no stress way to build understanding and fluency.
