Earth Day--Hooray!: A Springtime Book for Kids

"Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books." --Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D., First Grade Teacher, Ashbrook School, Lumberton NJ

Earth Day--Hooray! is perfect for teaching place value to second, third, and fourth graders. Earth Day is on the way, and Ryan, Luke, and Carly have a plan. If they manage to collect and recycle 5,000 aluminum cans, they can make enough money to buy some beautiful flowers for nearby Gilroy Park. CAN they do it? Counting the cans gives Ryan, Luke, and Carly--along with readers--a lesson in place value. And facts about recycling throughout the story will help readers understand how important it is to take care of the earth.

Kids will love the story and the illustrations by Renée Adriani. Parents and educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding the math concepts a breeze--as well as the concrete examples of how math works. The book contains activities for adults to do with kids to extend math into their own lives.
