Summary
JumpStart Scholastic workbooks each have three sections for different topics. Each section has three difficulty levels and a review portion.

Level 1

 * Frankie gets a watch so he won't be late for school. Readers are instructed to trace the numbers on his watch in order from 1 to 12.
 * Frankie wants to set some clocks. Readers must match pictures of clocks to the correct written forms of the time.

Level 2

 * Floyd hands out hall passes. Readers are instructed to draw an hour hand on each clock to match the time on the hall pass beside it.
 * Ms. Nobel left a schedule on the blackboard. Readers are instructed to draw hour and minute hands on each clock for each event listed on the board.
 * Frankie helps Chef Gumbo make lunch. Readers must look at clocks indicating what time to start each task and write the time below each clock.
 * The clocks on the music room, art room, classroom, and lunchroom doors show what time the students should be there. Each door has two blanks on it where the numeral of the hour hand on the clocks should be written, to create both the word and numeral form of the time (ex. 9 o'clock, 9:00). Then readers are instructed to color in the doors based on the clocks. The door with the earliest time should be red, the next door should be yellow, the third door should be green, and the door with latest time should be blue.

Level 3

 * Frankie helps Chef Gumbo cook again. Each clock beside an oven indicates when the food should be taken out. Readers are instructed to write the time for each clock.
 * Frankie was so excited for school he didn't sleep well overnight, and now he needs a nap. Floyd set alarm clocks to wake Frankie. Readers are instructed to look at each digital clock and draw the hands on the analog clock beside it to show the same time.

Review

 * Readers are instructed to lead Frankie and Floyd through a clock maze by following a path of clocks with times in order. Readers starts at a clock showing one o'clock, and each successive clock should show one hour later than the clock before it. Both analog and digital clocks are featured.

Level 1

 * The JumpStart school kitchen needs more food, so Frankie and Floyd go to the store. Readers are instructed to trace the number under each coin.
 * At the store, Frankie and Floyd need to pick out food. Readers are instructed to draw lines from a penny and a nickel to the price tags marked 1 cent or 5 cents.

Level 2

 * Readers help Floyd by drawing pennies on cans to equal the number shown on the sign on each shelf.
 * Frankie and Floyd are looking at wheels of cheese that cost 10 cents each. Beneath each wheel of cheese, readers are told how many coins Floyd has and must decipher what coins he has.
 * Next Frankie and Floyd look at watermelon. A slice of watermelon costs 10 cents. Readers must look at several groups of coins and count how much each group adds up to. If a group of coins adds up to 10 cents, readers should draw a line from the group to the watermelon slice in the center of the page.
 * Floyd is confused about the value of coins. Readers are instructed to draw how many pennies are equal a nickel and how many pennies are equal a dime.

Level 3

 * Frankie and Floyd are ready to check out their groceries. Readers are instructed to write how much each grocery item costs by looking at the coins beside each item.
 * Frankie and Floyd put the leftover change from shopping in their piggy banks. Readers are instructed to write how much money was put into each piggy bank by looking at the coins beside each piggy bank.

Review

 * Readers are instructed to lead Frankie and Floyd through a money maze by following a path of coins in order. Readers start with one penny, and each successive group of coins should be more than the one before it.

Level 1

 * Frankie dropped a bag of jellybeans and they landed in several piles. Readers are instructed to guess how many jellybeans are in each pile and write the guesses on the first line below each jellybean pile. Then readers should count how many beans are in each pile and write the actual number on the second line. Then readers can compare the guesses with the actual numbers to see how close the answers were.
 * Frankie and Floyd bake cupcakes. Similar to the previous activity, readers are instructed to guess how many sprinkles are on each cupcake, write the guesses on the first line beneath each cupcake, then count the sprinkles and write the actual number on the second line.

Level 2

 * Frankie and Floyd are trying to figure out many hotdogs to make for each class. Readers are instructed to guess how many groups of five are in each class, then count how many students are in each class and write the actual number on the line below each class.
 * Now Frankie and Floyd need to get silverware and cups for each class. Floyd's class has 14 students and Frankie's class has 19. Frankie and Floyd each have three groups of forks, spoons, and cups. Readers should estimate how many objects are in each group and write the guess on the first line, then count the objects and write the actual number on the second line. Then readers are instructed cross out groups of forks, spoons or cups that are not enough Frankie or Floyd's classes.
 * Frankie and Floyd make tall ice cream sundaes. Readers are instructed to guess how many scoops are in each sundae, write the guess on the first line below each sundae, and then count the scoops and write the actual number on the second line. Readers are invited to color in the scoops afterwards.
 * Frankie and Floyd are ready for cleanup. Readers are instructed to guess how many soap bubbles are in each bowl, write the guess on the first line below each bowl, and then count the bubbles and write the actual number on the second line.

Level 3

 * It's close to the end of school day, and Frankie and Floyd have a big cake to celebrate. Readers are asked to estimate how big and heavy the cake is by circling some of the answers provided.
 * Frankie and Floyd are at a table with some of their favorite foods: soup, ice cream, and milk. Readers are instructed to draw a line from each item to a thermometer with the temperature that matches by estimating how hot or cold each item is.

Review

 * Frankie and Floyd go on a treasure hunt. Readers are instructed to look at various objects and estimate amounts, temperatures, lengths and heights. There are two possible answers provided for each object. After making estimations, readers should circle the correct answer for each object.
