Learning Palette

Learning Palette is a unique supplemental Maths and Reading program. To use Learning Palette, students place a card in the base unit and answer questions found in the center by placing coloured disks next to the answers around the outside of the card. Students can correct themselves by simply turning the card over and placing it back in the base unit. The back of the card is colour coded to show where the coloured disks should be. The questions and answers are also shown on the back for review. There are 20 challenging titles with 12 cards and 12 problems per title.

Learning Palette Base & Replacement Disks

The Learning Palette Base Unit includes one plastic base unit, 12 colour coded disks, an instruction card and a lid that screws on tight to keep loose pieces from getting lost between uses. It is sold separately, and when combined with the curriculum cards, provides for a unique and fun learning experience. Sets of replacement disks are available for purchase.
