SLJ Review of Math and Me
These books use very short sentences in outlined text boxes that seem to jump off the page. Each concept is introduced on one page and an example is given on the facing page. For instance, a statement about weight is followed by pictures of things that are light or heavy (complete with labels). Images include photos of various children as well as familiar items such as LEGO bricks, cupcakes, and backpacks. I Can Count! includes a number line on every page. The last page of each book offers readers a chance to apply what they have learned, such as by matching names to shapes or choosing which glass is the most full. VERDICT Short, simple text and familiar images make this an appealing series for young readers and wonderful to use in primary classroom math lessons.
