Featuring the picture book 12 Ways to Get to 11 by Eve Merriam.
Building on children’s growing number sense, this PF on the Go kit helps families explore the power of ten! Reading 12 Ways to Get to 11 invites children to look closely at colorful scenes filled with everyday objects that show how different combinations can add up to make 11 and how “ten and one more” connects to understanding addition and place value. Families then play Square Deal, and use a hundreds chart to discover how adding ten changes numbers and creates patterns. These activities make abstract mathematics ideas visible and playful, while the “Talk About It” prompts help parents guide mathematical conversations that grow thinking and confidence.
