Thames \u0026amp; Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of nine hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKids First Math: Stacking Block Abacus Math Kit with Activity Cards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+ A row of 5 vertical rods and 75 colorful cubes that stack on the rods\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+ Used to develop skills in counting, sorting, digits, addition, subtraction, and comparing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+ Visual and hands-on math learning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+ Durable plastic for long-term use and easy cleaning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e+ Includes 5 bases, 5 rods, 75 cubes, 49 number cards, 5 activity cards, plastic storage bin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"22\" width=\"25\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/warningtriangle.jpg?v=1625083911\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/warningtriangle.jpg?v=1625083911\"\u003e WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD — Small parts.
