Numeracy

Picture books in mathematics examine big ideas through imaginative story-telling. They can stimulate curiosity and interest in mathematical concepts, especially for children who are reluctant to engage in traditional math tasks. Reading a picture story book in mathematics to your child allows connections and exploration of real-life numeracy situations and questions.
