The Math Processes: classic story problems

Using imaginative storytelling, this book invites children into the world of mathematics. Each short story guides the child between the realm of nature and the realm of wonder—awakening the hands, head, and heart. As they meet addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and equals, the child begins to recognize the purpose of each process. Each story presented invites the child into action: listening, picturing, and working. And as the book unfolds, the problems shift—from real-world problems into increasingly imaginative problems—so that the child can practice each process again and again, from different angles. In this imaginative space, the child prepares to work (and think) with clarity—bringing their whole being into harmony.
