Learn more tips for reading math picture books with young children in this guide. The most important rule to keep in mind when selecting and reading a math picture book is to enjoy the stories and enjoy the children enjoying the stories! Read often, smile, and laugh. While reading, children can explore counting and addition as they practice counting a group of ducks that are not always neatly in a row and in fact may be hard to see-a challenging but enjoyable task.
Throughout the beautifully illustrated story, the seven ducklings form different groups that can be added and always make seven. Many are rooted in topics kids love (like animals, dinosaurs, magic, oceans, and more!).įor example, Quack and Countby Keith Baker is about seven ducklings quacking, sliding, and flying in marshland. Like many engaging pieces of children’s literature, the math picture books recommended below contain fun and interesting storylines. Asking questions and making observations about the math found in picture books can support children’s curiosity and enjoyment of math. Books with math concepts woven into the pictures and storylines can promote children's mathematical thinking and introduce foundational math concepts such as numbers, shapes, patterns, and measurement. Storybooks provide a rich opportunity to build not only literacy skills, but also math understanding. Ginsburg, Teachers College, Columbia University
