What Is Math?

Math turns up in nearly every part of daily life, and this read-aloud book follows it from room to room. Young readers are introduced to counting and calendars, weights and fractions, shapes and distances, and the charts and graphs people use to organize information.

The book uses familiar settings such as the changing seasons, clocks, recipes, and classrooms to show how math is a way of measuring and describing the world around us. Written for small children, it is meant to spark an early interest in STEM subjects.
