"Children in prekindergarten focus on counting and gradually master the essential one-to-one matching of an object to a number. By the end of second grade, they can represent one-, two-, and three-digit numbers, understand simple fractions, and apply a variety of facts and strategies to add and subtract skillfully. Investigations in this book support this progression by inviting students to count and order ducklings in a line, compute th ..."

"The investigations for prekindergarten and kindergarten contained in this book engage students in such activities as creating story problems about teddy bears, examining patterns of fire trucks and firefighters' hats, and making glyphs to represent data about children in the class. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. As they work, they infer, gener ..."
"The explorations in this book include such tasks as determining the coins in piggy banks, matching two-dimensional shapes with three-dimensional solids, and organizing data about hats in tree diagrams. Students apply mathematical ideas from the five main content areas number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. As they work, they infer, generalize, reason by analogy, recognize relationships, and make representations, and ..."
