Marion Stuart was a 4th grade school teacher looking for a method that would allow her students
to quickly learn their multiplication tables. She had used the traditional methods of flashcards
and drill sheets to some success, but there were still a number of students who didn't seem to
respond to these activities.
After many trials she came up with the idea of matching problems to the answers on a hand held
card with a string. Once the card was wrapped, she spray-painted the back of the card, which
created an answer pattern. After initial positive results she created a classroom set of these
early Wrap-ups with her jigsaw down in the basement of her home.
Her classroom responded with enthusiasm and quickly passed their facts in half the time that it
had taken in previous years. Her Principal asked that she make more for the other teachers in the
school who each had similar results. After some encouraging from teachers, friends and family,
she found a manufacturer that would allow her to eventually create the Wrap-ups that you now see
on this website.
Wrap-ups have grown to be a staple product in assisting students in learning their basic math
facts. They can also be used for Pre-Algebra, Vocabulary, Early Childhood, Sight Words/ESL,
Spanish, Science, and even Keyboard Theory for the piano. Marion has written several workbooks
and the company has added a line of "Wrap-up Rap" audio CDs that work with, or independent of
Wrap-ups, in assisting students in learning their basic math facts.
The company continues to add new products that are consistent with the quality and value that it
has become known for. Please look at the Learning Palette information found on this site.
Originally a German product, it has been adapted to meet the needs of young students in North
America. The curriculum for Learning Palette has been written and developed under the close
supervision of Marion Stuart the original creator of Learning Wrap-ups.
