Our Review
This innovative early math resource applies cutting-edge neuroscience to help young learners master counting within 100 through its signature Reverse, Reverse technique. Rather than traditional rote counting exercises, this approach activates multiple cognitive pathways by having children count forward and backward, building flexible numerical thinking from the very beginning. The brain-based methodology transforms what could be tedious number practice into engaging mental workouts that strengthen both counting skills and executive function. Teachers will appreciate the ready-to-implement lesson format that requires minimal preparation while delivering maximum cognitive impact.
What sets this counting resource apart is how it translates complex brain research into practical classroom activities that feel more like games than traditional math drills. Kindergarten educators seeking to build strong foundational number sense will find this particularly valuable, as the strategies address common counting hurdles while keeping young minds actively engaged. The approach not only teaches children to count accurately but also develops the mental flexibility needed for future mathematical success. This represents a significant upgrade from conventional counting books by creating neural connections that make numbers stick.
