Experiment set INTEGERS

Description

Tactile Arithmetic

The experiment set INTEGERS features magnetically attachable, colored acrylic glass tiles that help students discover the structure of the positional notation system and learn how to add Roman numerals. The tiles also provide a novel approach to:

  • working with negative numbers
  • the arithmetic laws of addition and multiplication of integral numbers
  • the distributive law

Working with MEKRUPHY materials turns mathematics into an experience, arousing and increasing students’ interest and motivation for this often unpopular subject.

Supporting materials

In addition to the experiment set INTEGERS, a student workbook and a teacher’s manual with didactic instructions and solutions are also available in analog form. The student workbook can also be purchased in digital form.
