內容簡介: |
Everyday activities such as sharing a meal, sorting socks, and
getting ready for school can be part of learning math. In the
MathStart series, everyday life is the basis for each entertaining
story. Simple math concepts are embedded in each story so that
young children intuitively understand them. Adults can use the
creative suggestions for activities in the back of each book to
extend learning opportunities with children.
Developmentally appropriate and correlated to school grade levels
and the curriculum standards of the National Council of Teachers Of
Mathematics, MathStart can give children a head start!
