Author: Pam Schiller, Lynne Peterson Brown | Count On MathActivities for Small Hands and Lively MindsThe activities in this book reflect children's real world math experiences--counting candles on a birthday cake, sorting and classifying toys, making sure there is a one-to-one correspondence between children and cookies. Children learn spatial relationships, patterning, shapes, numeration, and many other math concepts from these simple activities, such as "Nature Sort," "Human Rectangles" and "Stackable Snackables."

Skill-sequenced songs are "stepping stones" to learning, building one necessary skill upon the other. Kids, 4 to 8 years, will gain important basic knowledge and a solid foundation for math readiness.
