DESCRIPTION:
Announcing Book 2, the much-anticipated sequel to DeAnna Horstmeier's popular and successful first book on teaching essential math used in daily living. TEACHING MATH TO PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND OTHER HANDS-ON LEARNERS, BOOK2: ADVANCED SURVIVAL SKILLS continues with her proven, practical hands-on activities--with the help of games, manipulatives, props, and worksheets--to make learning concrete and more tangible to hands-on learners, including those with Down syndrome, autism, or other cognitive disabilities. Just like Book 1, the follow-up book focuses on survival math--computations and concepts that relate to everyday life and being as independent as possible.Book 2 reviews some of the basics but mostly focuses on more challenging skills that are usually taught in upper elementary, middle school and beyond, suc
Insane pricevery inexpensive at another site I cannot believe how people are charging from $900 to $1800 for this book online in the US because it is out of print. It is a $25 book! I have a child with special needs who struggles with math and I was desperate to find ways to help him. Parents and teachers, there is a site in Europe where you can buy this book if you do a search for the title of this book.

And it never touches on reading graphs which is a pretty common real-life skill.Lastly, the Appendix isn't as orderly as the first volume. You have to hunt for stuff w
Like the earlier Book 1 Basic Survival Skills, Book 2 includes informal assessments to help identify what math skills a learner has and what needs to be taught with meticulous step-by-step instructions for games and hands-on activities. Horstmeier clearly explains each lesson: what you are trying to teach, how to teach it, what materials you need and how to measure your success. --Down Syndrome News, Volume 31, #7 . It covers multiplication, division, fractions, more advanced money skills and more information on measurement and time
