History
of Minimath
Projects


"Minimath Projects is the result of an elective class my father taught called "Math Enrichment" in the early 70's.  His objective was to find manipulative projects that would be enjoyable for the students and relate to their math curriculum.  After buying and trying to use commercially available products, he found that they were expensive and difficult to adapt to heterogeneously grouped classes.


The projects developed were created with the following goals in mind:

1.  Projects that would appeal to all ability levels,
2.  Projects that use readily available and inexpensive materials,
3.  Projects that could be successfully completed by students in a wide range of grades, and
4.  Projects that require very little teacher preparation time to use in the classroom.
