The Critical Thinking Co.™ Announces the Latest Additions to the Mathematical Reasoning™ Family of Products

Three new books join the award winning Mathematical Reasoning™ product line. The Critical Thinking Co. announces the release of the newest additions to the top selling Mathematical Reasoning™ series: Mathematical Reasoning™ Beginning 1 (age 3), Mathematical Reasoning™ Beginning 2 (age 4), and Mathematical Reasoning™ Level D (Grade 3).

Seaside, CA, April 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Filled with colorful pages and well-defined layouts, the well-crafted, student-friendly, and well-grounded texts offer a multitude of ways to develop and strengthen children’s knowledge of mathematical reasoning. The textbooks are loaded with quick, easy, and fun problems to help children build upon prior knowledge while engaging the learners.

Mathematical Reasoning™ helps children learn mathematics in a way that is child-centered and focuses on developing mathematics concepts aligned with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Each book provides an entire math curriculum within grade range that meets and exceeds State and national standards set by the Department of Education. The books emphasize problem-solving and computation to build the math reasoning skills necessary for success in higher-level math and math assessments. Parents can learn right along with students. Children love these award winning, mind-building activities, and you’ll love the academic results achieved.

The activities and units in the Mathematical Reasoning series spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills. It is a rich collection of ready-to-use learning activities based on current research into student learning, developmental practices, and mathematical instruction. Recent studies have proven that using the Mathematical Reasoning textbooks, written by Linda and Doug Brumbaugh, children’s mathematical reasoning skills significantly improve. A study conducted during the 2007-2008 academic year by Dr. Gina Gresham of the University Central Florida with an earlier edition of Mathematical Reasoning Beginning yielded a 41% increase in the mathematical reasoning
skills of the 4yearolds tested. The post-test scores for the control groups not using the text averaged only a 10% increase in their mathematical reasoning skill scores.

“The eagerness and student excitement is evident by our testimonials. We are incredibly proud of the response and the success of our new core curriculum titles,” said Nile Duppstadt, vice-president of The Critical Thinking Co.

The new books join Mathematical Reasoning™ Levels A through C, which cover kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 respectively.
