Exciting storytelling approach to learning.
It is harder than ever to grab a student's attention and hold on to it. Through humor, imaginative tales, conflict, and variety, Marco the Great takes on an innovative way to learn. Readers are not only pulled into the story, they have the opportunity to explore and become a part of a whole new world.
Plus, the digital content allows students to learn and practice through play, creating an excitement and joy around the learning process.
Relatable characters allow students to see themselves in the story.
We believe that all kids are 'math kids'. By utilizing relatable characters, readers are able to see themselves in the story and share in their own personal triumphs alongside Marco.
Marco the Great presents concepts as powerful abilities to perfect. As readers master these approaches, they begin to feel strong and confident in their own magical math powers.
