When writing these books, my goal was to make the abstract math concepts relatable and meaningful for young children. Each story brings children through the day of the cute animal characters so they can see how Math is used in everyday life! I also added materials at the back of each book so that you can use them to create fun hands-on activities for your children to reinforce the Math concepts.
