This real-life program features sturdy, glossy folders that are divided into 5 everyday math categories. Each category includes 4 unique folders.

The skills covered are clearly labeled on each activity page.
The Resource CD includes whiteboard-ready PDFs of the entire contents of the binder including the full-color folders, a complete list of skills, plus bonus activities, reference pages, blank checks, deposit slips, and more.
