All while having fun with hands-on activities and games.

In today’s world of rising expectations in mathematical knowledge in the elementary years, it is more important than ever that students in the younger elementary years are exposed to activities that promote number sense. Gritisms cover this need with a wide variety of activity mats and standard playing cards that can easily be made into math centers. Best of all, each of these Gritism activity mats are aligned with the grade-appropriate math standards.

Bryan Moore, Elementary School Teacher

My kids adored Mr. Harber because he interacted with them and other students on such a friendly level. I could always tell his love for teaching with how well the students responded. When he was on duty students always surrounded him. He seems to be very popular on campus.

Connie Brough, Parent

Mr. Harber is an exceptional teacher. He has worked with students from gifted learners to students with special needs and is able to differentiate instruction to have the students achieve their academic goals. The lessons and materials that he creates are engaging, accessible, and effective for all students. I highly recommend them!
