VERY EARLY MATH: SET 1 - Numbers tell us "How Many" (Paperback & e-book)
Like early phonics book sets, this series addresses the most foundational very-early-math concepts. Spoiler alert ... something called "subitizing" (recognizing "how many" without counting) may be even more foundational to early math than counting. Subitizing is the focus of SET 1. (All Very Early MATH sets come in both an e-book version and a print version.)
VERY EARLY MATH: SET 2 - COUNTING! How To Do It & What It Tells Us (Paperback & e-book)
It turns out that children don't automatically understand why we count. They have to learn that the reason we count is to answer the question, "How many of something are in a group?" as well as that, when we count a group, the number given to the last item counted tells us the group's size (i.e., the Cardinal Principle). Building on SET 1, SET 2 gives you tools to help a child understand: 1. Why we count; 2. How to count; 3. How counting tells a group's size. Psst...if a child doesn't understand this, a child won't be able to understand math.
EARLY MATH (i.e., Counting & Adding Up To 10)
The three early math books cover topics including the pairs of numbers that add to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 and 10 Friends (the pairs of numbers that add to 10). These are key early-math skills. Each book's story, illustrations, rhymes, and activities help children learn these key early-math building blocks. Click here for a Ten Friends Save the Day! read aloud.
MULTIPICATION
Taming the MULTIPLICATION Monster offers a unique way to help children learn their multiplication facts. It stresses understanding multiplication and learning a few patterns; not memorizing. One Amazon reviewer (cass) wrote, that after months of watching her child try unsuccessfully to master multiplicaiton facts, "...This book finally had him getting them down."
