Enriching Education: TinkerActive Workbooks

I'm really interested in promoting STEM education. I'm a licensed math teacher with two daughters that are homeschooled, who love science. Anything I can do to feed their interest and promote it further is great. So I was thrilled to try out TinkerActive workbooks, even though the books are a little young for where my kids are at right now.

What sets these workbooks apart from other early learning workbooks is just how hands-on they are. It's not just about reviewing arithmetic problems, but about exploration, discovery, and learning extension. These are the kinds of books that are going to allow parents to encourage their kids to take things one step farther, and they're very kid-friendly, with easy-to-read pages and visuals that add to the activities.

TinkerActive Workbooks are designed to build your child’s fundamental math and science skills AND inspire them to try new things, discover new skills, and imagine new possibilities. I would strongly recommend these to any homeschooling family looking for something more than just drilling the basics, or any family looking to add to or reinforce school learning.
