Book 1 - Worksheets

• Hidden Structures

(Benefits: 1.Visual search: The act of searching for the structures hidden in the pile of building blocks is a real-world example of a visual search, which is a cognitive task where an observer looks for a target among distractors. 2.Observation and detail: Finding the hidden structures requires paying attention to detail, using strategy, and the power of observation. Teachers can ask students to explain how they found the structures and their thought process.)

• Number Challenge

(Learning the concepts of “more than,” “less than,” and “equal to” is key in beginning to understand addition and subtraction.)
