Playing With Math? You Betcha!

This little book could be your entire math curriculum for preschool and kindergarten combined!

A fantastic combination of explanations for the parents along with amazing activities that drive home real-world applications for that all-important introduction to math. This is an example of one of those books that leads to your child breezing through higher math, and who doesn’t want that?

Does your little one love cars or dinosaurs? She prefers marbles. It doesn’t matter. This book shows both you and your child how to take every day items that you both enjoy and learn some math.

From the basics of counting with items in your home and recognizing numbers, to learning shapes and finding them all around you, the author crammed this little picture book with fantastic activities.

Are you intrigued by Charlotte Mason or the idea of experiential learning? This book will give you a chance to see how your child will take to a more relaxed and natural form of learning.

My absolute favorite activity from the book begins with your child gathering up a number of his favorite small toys, some paper, a pencil, and a ruler. Then the two of you head outside to a sunny spot and some advanced math learning ensues. If you plan to homeschool when she gets older, these fun activities are a perfect way for you both to practice.

Are you wondering what to do with the ruler? Oh, for that you have to buy the book, or request it from your local library!

But I have to say, I think you will much prefer to purchase your own copy!
