Math Trek Grade R to 3
Modules Overview
Math Trek R, 1, 2, 3 is a comprehensive curriculum-based program which covers the mathematics knowledge and skills generally taught in grades Kindergarten, 1, 2 and 3. It is a multimedia program with sound, animation and graphics, which provides exploratory activities. It is organized under the strands typically found in the grade 1, 2 and 3 mathematics curriculum:
Number Sense and Numeration;
Patterning and Algebra;
Geometry and Spatial Sense;
Data Management and Probability;
Measurement.
It may be used on standalone computers or on a network on Windows computers.
