Description

Fibonacci Bear, named after the great mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, invites the students into his toy store to work with him in solving questions related to Number Sense and Numeration, Measurement, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Patterning and Algebra and Data Management and Probability. Throughout the software Fibonacci Bear serves as the guide, teacher and presenter leading the students through the software, demonstrating the activities and providing feedback during the tasks. The progress of students is tracked as they complete more than a hundred different activities.\nThis software covers the basic concepts and strands generally taught in grades Kindergarten, 1, 2, 3. It follows the philosophy and standards contained in the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and OAME (Ontario Association of Mathematics Educators) standards, the grade 1, 2 and 3 curriculum expectations in the new Ontario Curriculum for mathematics; and the specific and general objectives in the Common Curriculum Framework for Mathematics (Western Canadian Protocol for Collaboration in Education).
