Wheaton, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2016 -- MathRack products are teaching tools specially designed to support and stretch primary student's mathematical thinking strategies and, in turn, their comprehension of number sense, addition, subtraction and problem solving. Built to enhance understanding as well as reinforce higher level counting strategies, MathRack's unique tools support invented strategies of children using moveable objects and are aligned with Common Core State Standards and TEKs.

Overall, MathRack can be a part of any whole math curriculum that provides the foundation of understanding numbers and has a number of potent benefits including the following:

- Supports the natural mathematical development of children
- Enables students to see, think, and manipulate moveable objects to deepen their number knowledge
- Supports and stretches invented strategies of children
- Requires children to use strategic thinking rather than procedural responses
- Promotes automatized facts enabling children to construct mental maps of number relationships

While all of MathRack's attributes are fantastic, its alignment with Common Core State Standards sets its value particularly high. It meets Common Core Standards for Kindergarten as well as the 1st and 2nd Grades in the following ways:
