One thing leads to another…
As we explored colors for last month’s Picture Book Preschool post, we kind of fell into a math activity while we were sorting beads by color.
It seemed the perfect opportunity to take advantage of a visual, and, of course, the next time we were at the library, I picked up a couple of simple math books:
- One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre takes on adding/multiplying by counting animal feet.
- Quack and Count by Keith Baker shows all the ways you can group numbers to equal seven.
I also came across a title at work that I’m excited for my local library to get: Help Me Learn Addition by Jean Marzollo and Chad Phillips. This same team also created a visual introduction to numbers that is great for preschoolers, so I’m interested to see how my preschooler takes to their intro to addition.
