Circus Fun!: Add Up To 9 - Marty Epstein - Bog

The pairs of numbers that add up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the stars of this fun math adventure! These addition pairs (e.g., 1 + 1 = 2...1 + 8 = 9; 2 + 7 = 9; 3 + 6 = 9; 4 + 5 = 9) are key math building blocks. (Some refer to this approach as part-part-whole, and it's a really useful way to think of numbers.) This book makes mastering them fun! In the story, The NUMBERS, their dog, and 8's pet spider run away to join the circus. To convince the ringmaster to hire them, each number puts on a show that highlights what pairs of numbers combine to create that number. Will some of them get hired? All of them? Will they join the circus? Hmmm...there's only one way to find out . Read Circus Fun! Add Up To 9. In addition to the fun math story, the book includes lots of coloring and practice pages to help little ones master their "add-up-to-nine" addition facts. Why doesn't the book include "add-up-to-10" addition facts? Because in our base-10 number system, the pairs of numbers that add to 10 are super important. They, therefore, have their own story: Ten Friends Save The Day: Add to 10. Find out more about these and other Smiling Dog(R) Math books at the www.SmilingDogMath.com website.
