Featuring the picture book 1 to 20, Animals Aplenty by Katie Viggers
Get ready for laughter and lively math talk with this PF on the Go kit that helps children discover and practice the Pretend-a-10 strategy! In 1 to 20, Animals Aplenty, playful animal illustrations and silly rhymes invite families to add, count, and compare as they meet quirky creatures like “Eleven dogs and their pet frogs” or “Fourteen capybaras eating bananas.” Each page sparks opportunities to notice number patterns and practice flexible thinking, whether using Doubles, Near Doubles, or Pretend-a-10! Families then use a transparent spinner, card deck, and the Find It Addition game wheel to play hands-on math games that make the Pretend-a-10 strategy come to life. Prompts in“Talk About It” guide parents in getting children to explain their thinking.
