50 FUN PAGES TO COLOR AND LEARN!

Great summer workbook or stocking stuffer!
Ideal for preschool and kindergarten classrooms

Perfect for playtime and home
More than a workbook, this book has large images and subtly shows many ways of thinking about numbers. Parents can support their young children by reading the simple question on the left page and listening to the response. More than simple counting, this book shows how to use counters to represent numbers and challenges preschoolers, kindergarteners and first graders to consider, How many are missing? which is the number one struggle in early numeracy development.
This book has a variety of different images to appeal to boys and girls. The math is subtle and I do hope it inspires parents to replicate some of these ideas while playing with their children. These are also a fabulous center activity in the preschool and kindergarten classroom and are still worthwhile for first graders. First grade teachers know the importance of early number sense and hiding games and part whole models give that a huge boost!

How To Use This Book:
50Math suggestions are included on the left page for each coloring page.
We begin with cardinality and correspondence. Children can count the items and write the numeral in the speech bubble. Ask them to draw the same number of counters or colored circles in the 5 Frame as shown in the first image. You can begin by tracing mine. Research shows we do not spend enough time developing solid understanding of numbers nested within 5 (ALL the ways of making 5 and 4 and 3 and 2 and 1 and 0.)
Included are ideas for telling math stories, estimating and playing Which One Doesn't Belong?
While it is essential to continue counting higher and higher, we must count actual items more than simply saying the numbers. Children need a solid sense about 0-5 in order to build deeper understanding within 10. For more details be sure to read the final page and visit me at themathviking.com.
