“Math Place is an all-in-one resource with everything you need to engage learners in investigative math tasks that will build their number sense and conceptual understanding of math! The big book provides colourful, exciting visuals that invite students to solve problems, talk about math and engage in visual math that provides a bridge from the concrete to the abstract stages of math development. My students loved the tasks provided in the manual and I felt confident following the simple instructions provided. The background information that explained the concepts behind the tasks helped me grow as a math teacher too!”
