Title: Ready, Set, HOP!
Author: Stuart J. Murphy
Illustrator: Jon Buller
Recommended Grade Level: Level 2 which is ages 6 and up.
Common Core Mathematics Standards Addressed: 1.O.A Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions.
Summary: Cheer for two frog friends as they compete to see who needs to take fewer hops to win. By the end of the book you'll know how to build simple equation and who's the better hopper. As you read aloud children begin to hear such math talk as large, bigger, more, fewer, less, equals and so much more.
Rating: ***** Developmentally appropriate and correlated to school grade levels and the curriculum standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, MathStart can give children a head start!
Classroom Ideas: Everyday activities such as sharing a meal, sorting socks, and getting ready for school can be part of learning math. In the Math Start series , everyday life is the basis for each entertaining story. Other books we can share and enjoy are "Give Me Half!, The Best Bug Parade, and A Fair Bear Share," one of my favorites. As you read aloud pictures do more than tell stories.
