Migthy Math Carnival Countdown and Might Math Number Heroes
LINC has added two new Math software programs from Edmark , Mighty Math Carnival Countdown and Mighty Math Number Heroes , to the loan library, and so far both are receiving rave reviews.
Mighty Math Carnival Countdown provides kindergartners through second-graders a fun way to learn addition, subtraction, early multiplication, division and logic by connecting ordinary everyday objects with abstract concepts. In one activity, students learn about sets as they sort bumper cars by driver, color, body style, number and horn sound. Other activities include Pattern Block designs, learning about the relationships between ones, tens and hundreds with a Bubble Band, and learning about equality, inequality and place value in the Giggle Factory.
Mighty Math Number Heroes , for third to fifth grade, stresses problem solving and logic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, graphs and charts and probability. One activity asks children to identify, add, subtract and multiply to make fantastic fraction fireworks displays, and others include a game show and geometric art activities. In both programs, all activities have an Explore and a Questions and Answer Mode.
LINC will be adding numerous new titles to its Software Loan library in the coming months. Be sure to make an appointment to try out some of the new additions. ® (Spring 1997)
