For parents and teachers
For learners who can read a page alone and use the four operations. In many schools this fits children of about 11 to 13, and older learners can use it too. Activities use sticks, string, paper, a cup of soil and a walk outside. A learner looks, counts and puts everything back, and never collects live animals. Gloves or washed hands go with soil and compost. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
