Skills dealing with counting and cardinality provide essential foundations for beginning math students. Readers learn important topics, such as counting from 1 to 10, comparing numbers, answering "how many?" questions, counting by 10s, and writing numbers. Each topic is explained in detail using accessible text and colorful images to help readers independently explore these core math concepts. They analyze a messy room and learn to count objects in a scattered grouping. Aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, the text highlights standard K.CC.B.5. This book should be paired with "Time for Gym Class" (9781477716236) from the Rosen Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
