Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes – Three-Dimensional Shapes

Learning about 3D shapes early on gives kids a great foundation for geometry later. What I love about this story is how it uses a comic strip approach to turn learning into a space adventure, making it fun and engaging for kids. It’s a fantastic way to introduce them to different 3D shapes while sparking their imaginations!

Pepper’s Journal – Calendars

Since my brother and his wife just welcomed new kittens into their family, it’s the perfect time to dive into this story about kittens and how Pepper journals their growth. This story is a wonderful to introduce my kids to the calendar and help them understand how days, weeks, months, and year work. It’s a fun way to explore how they fit together. A kid’s calendar will let them keep track of important dates like birthdays and holidays, giving them a sense of responsibility and ownership.

Bigger, Better, Best – Area

I still remember the excitement on my kids’ faces when we moved into our new home—they were so thrilled about the extra space! In this story, the kids are in a similar situation, moving into a new house and picking the best room. They use paper to measure the area of the windows and floor space in each room, which makes the whole process of choosing their room fun and educational.

Racing Around – Perimeter

In this story, our children learn about measuring perimeter through a fun race. I love how it shows the older siblings doubting the little brother’s ability to finish the race, but he perseveres and proves them wrong by completing the race. It’s a wonderful way to teach about perimeter and the importance of not giving up, no matter what others think.

A Fair Bear Share – Regrouping

In this story, the bears are helping their mom bake a blueberry pie. Once they’ve gathered all the ingredients, they start counting them together. Each bear groups the ingredients into sets of 10 and then combines any leftover items to make additional sets of 10. It’s a fun way for kids to learn about grouping and counting in a practical context!

Coyotes All Around – Rounding

In this story, the coyotes are on a mission to count the road runners, lizards, and grasshoppers they spot. The clever coyote uses rounding to estimate the totals for each group, making the math a bit easier. It’s a great way for my kids to see how rounding can simplify counting and help with quick estimates, showing them that it’s a useful skill when you don’t need to be exact. Plus, the story includes some interesting fun facts about the animals, which is a delightful bonus!

Let’s Fly a Kite – Symmetry

I love how this story shows the importance of symmetry through everyday situations like designing a kite or sharing space in the car. When the siblings argue about things, their mom makes sure everything is balanced and fair, teaching them about symmetry in a fun and relatable way. It’s a great reminder of how balance and order play a role in our daily lives.

More or Less – Comparing Numbers

I love this book because it’s such a fun read! At the fair, Eddie is blindfolded and has to guess the age of people who come up to him. If he doesn’t get it right by the 6th question, he’ll be dunked in water! The way Eddie uses “more or less” questions to make his guesses adds a fun way and really gets my kids thinking about estimation and logical reasoning in an exciting way.

The Sundae Scoop – Combinations

I love how this story uses a school picnic ice-cream booth to teach kids about combinations. The kids experiment with different flavor combinations, turning a favorite dessert into a fun way to learn about problem-solving and pre-algebra skills. It’s such a delightful way to connect their interests with learning!

Probably Pistachio – Probability

This story resonates with us because it starts with Jack having a rough day, something we can all relate to. As Jack thinks through different scenarios of what might go wrong, it ties a common experience to learning about probability, making the concept feel more relevant and real for our kids.
