What Is Math? Synopsis

What is math? So many things! Counting and calendars, weights and fractions, shapes and distances, charting and graphing. Math is the way we measure and code our world, from seasons to clocks, recipes, classrooms, and beyond. Math is all around us!    

Readers will be introduced to:
- Graphs and charts-in the form of pizza pies! 
- Counting and weight-when baking a cake!  
- Shapes and word problems-to build a spaceship!    

This rousing read aloud offers an engaging and accessible introduction to math-perfect for sparking an early interest in STEM subjects for preschool and early elementary school children. And be sure to keep an eye out for a friendly black cat and white dog on each spread as they participate in the math-related hijinks!
