Our Review

This standards-based math workbook offers over 40 collaborative lessons designed for first graders to learn alongside older or younger peers, turning foundational arithmetic into a shared adventure. Each activity clearly aligns with elementary mathematics standards, providing a structured yet flexible framework for practicing addition, subtraction, and early problem-solving. The inclusion of student handouts and assessment rubrics makes it easy for a guiding adult to facilitate the learning process, ensuring the math concepts are both accessible and engaging for a 6- to 7-year-old.

What truly distinguishes this resource is its focus on peer-to-peer learning, which builds both academic confidence and social skills through its partnered exercises. Children who thrive with hands-on interaction and enjoy explaining their thinking will benefit most from this collaborative approach to number sense and early math fluency. The book successfully transforms routine skill practice into a dynamic, communicative experience that reinforces mathematical understanding through teaching and teamwork.
