Caleb Gattegno’s approach to math focuses on the process for generating mathematics in the mind. While many believe that math is the skill of a few gifted people, he believed that every student is capable of functioning like a mathematician. By taking abstract concepts and representing them in visible and tangible ways, he found that students can gain mathematical competence well beyond their designated grade levels.

This Book Set includes:

1. Gattegno Mathematics Textbook 1: Qualitative Arithmetic - The Study of Numbers up to 20
2. Gattegno Mathematics Textbook 2: Study of Numbers up to 1,000 - The Four Operations
3. Gattegno Mathematics Textbook 4: Fractions, Decimals, Percentages
4. Gattegno Mathematics Textbook 5: Study of Numbers
5. Mathematics with Numbers in Colour Book VI: Applied Mathematics
6. Mathematics with Numbers in Colour Book VII: Algebra and Geometry
7. Now Johnny Can Do Arithmetic: A Handbook on the Use of Colored Rods (for parents)

*Please note that Gattegno Mathematics Textbook 3: Applied Arithmetic is not included. This book is not necessary for a modern curriculum, as it focuses on outdated units of British measurement.
