Elementary School Materials Overview

In addition to the Bridges in Mathematics curriculum we offer two elementary school programs, Box It or Bag It Mathematics (K-2) and Opening Eyes to Mathematics (3-4). Supplemental materials include Number Corner (K-5), Bridges Breakouts (K-5), and Problem Solving with Story Boxes (K-2).

Box It or Bag It

Box It or Bag It is a math program for K-2 teachers who want to surround children with a language-enriched, activity-centered learning envrionment. Students enjoy hands-on experiences with a variety of materials and are encouraged to learn from each other as well as the teacher.

Opening Eyes

Opening Eyes to Mathematics introduces third and fourth grade children to the beauty and excitement of mathematics. Students use models, manipulatives, and visual thinking to explore mathematics, develop understanding, and solve problems.

Number Corner

Number Corner is an interactive bulletin board that revolves around the classroom calendar, providing skills practice as well as continual encounters with broader mathematical concepts. An essential component of the Bridges in Mathematics curriculum Number Corner can also be used to complement any K-5 curriculum.

Bridges Breakouts

Bridges Breakouts come directly from Bridges in Mathematics but may be used independently of the curriculum. These units and activities are both affordable and easy to implement, making them ideal supplements for any K-5 program.

Problem Solving with Story Boxes

Problem Solving with Story Boxes invites children to pose as well as solve problems. Created to complement Box It or Bag It mathematics, these materials can also be used to enhance any K-2 curriculumn.
