Goat Maath: An Addition Story
From the author of the How To Hatch series and the award-winning illustrator behind Dexter, Nudi Gill, In a Cave, and the Childhood Milestones series comes a unique story that combines counting, addition, and the Ten Billy Goats Gruff in a mathematical fairy tale that will delight budding readers and mathematicians alike.
An everyday trek up the mountain becomes the perfect opportunity for a young goat-herding mathematician to teach his goats a little maa-th. Trying to keep ten goats together proves to be a challenge, but mathematics makes everything easier, especially when your goats prove to be good at addition… and staying on track. The goats and their goatherd cross rivers, climb cliffs, and meet unexpected friends, all while playing with numbers in a fun, interactive way. With illustrations that cleverly depict number lines and ten frames, this picture book is sure to have young readers counting along.
A great read-aloud for classrooms, libraries, and homeschooling, this book includes early addition concepts including number lines, counting up, number bonds and grouping.
