Synopsis "Everyday Math Missions: 60 Illustrated Adventures with Counting, Money, Time and Measurement for Kids Ages 6-8"
Put everyday math to work in a neighborhood full of useful jobs. Join Mia, Leo and Noor as they pack a picnic, open a tiny shop, prepare a party, help with deliveries, build a mini town and get ready for a community day. Each illustrated mission gives children ages 6-8 a practical problem to solve with a pencil. Inside are: • 60 numbered missions, each on its own activity page. • Practice with counting, addition, subtraction, equal groups and fair sharing. • Pretend shopping with US dollars and cents, prices, totals, budgets and change. • Whole-hour and half-hour clocks, with quarter-hour and elapsed-time stretch activities. • Inches, centimeters, pounds and cups, plus shapes, patterns, picture charts and grid routes. • Start, Explore and Stretch labels, a hint for every mission, and space to write or draw. • Explained answers for all 60 missions, with number checks or completed picture examples. Grown-up guidance and handy money, clock and measurement pages help families get started. Optional creative pages invite children to design a mission, play shop and plan an afternoon. A mission passport and certificate celebrate their efforts. This 112-page, 8.5 x 11-inch paperback has a black-and-white interior. Only a pencil is needed; an eraser is useful. Grown-up reading help is welcome. The activities offer focused practice rather than a complete school curriculum.
