Math Caravan

If you are attending any of the math caravan sites, please stop by the First Team Education booth and pick up your free sample of ISTEP+ Finish Line Math! This program is based on the spring ISTEP+ and the newest math standards for Indiana. Many schools are already using these materials and you don't want to be left out! Just stop by the table, tell us what grade level you are interested in, and we will give you a free sample.

While you're there, take a look at the ETA Cuisenaire materials we will have on hand. The ETA Cuisenaire manipulatives can be used with any core math program. We will also have an Algebra Readiness and Algebra 1 programs available.

New 2010 Representation for First Team Education!

And we're off!!!! The new year of 2010 is here and First Team Education is proud to announce two new companies that they will be representing: ETA Cuisinaire and BMI.

ETA is the leader in manipulatives, both math and reading. (Think Versatiles and Reading Rods.) We just returned from our first sales meeting and were very impressed with the product this company has. You can see First Team Education on the caravan exhibiting some ETA materials.

BMI is a company that sells trade books. You can contact us with a list of trade books and BMI will give you a quote that offers a 25% discount and free shipping. BMI is a family owned business and has been in business for around 40 years. They are known for their great customer service. If you have used other companies in the past for trade books, I would suggest you give BMI a chance. Diana Hall will be working with First Team Education on promoting BMI.
