The world of bears, both real and imaginary, is explored in this module. In Set 2, your child is supposed to complete a small research project about a bear. Unfortunately, however, the CD-ROM Zoology Zone Bears (ISBN-10: 0-9688188-1-1 or ISBN-13: 978-0-9688188-1-7) is no longer stocked due to low/no sales. This research project will have to be omitted unless students obtain their own CD. Mathematics activities include one-to-one correspondence, using one-to-one correspondence to identify equivalent sets, and sets that have more or less.
REMEMBER to order the shared resources for the Kindergarten Program. They can be found under the separate heading titled, "Kindergarten Shared Resources."
