McGrath Math

The teddy bears are back-this time to teach readers all about patterns. Similar to the first three books in the McGrath Math series of concept books, TEDDY BEAR PATTERNS uses rhyming verse to explain the concepts illustrated by the colorful teddies. This simple text helps children to follow along as the teddy bears sort by color, and arrange into patterns of two colors, three colors, and so on. Readers will also discover how they can use patterns to skip count, add, and even multiply, before trying their hand at creating a pattern of their own. TEDDY BEAR PATTERNS is a worthwhile addition to the classroom, especially those that already use bear counters or other manipulatives as learning tools. Back matter provides a summary of the concepts introduced in the book.

As the McGrath Math series continues, the cute and bouncy teddies introduce subtraction to young readers. Great for in-class use with popular bear manipulatives, simple verse and bright colors make math and subtraction as easy as 3-2-1!

In this follow-up to TEDDY BEAR COUNTING and TEDDY BEAR MATH, kids will be jumping, wriggling, and spinning as they practice their math skills. In Simon Says-like fashion children are asked to moo like cows, fly like planes and pat their heads while they count, add, sort, and subtract. The hands-on interaction makes math exciting for young learners and teachers will find this book perfect for use with bear counters or other classroom manipulatives.

Big bears sort, count, and add tiny teddies in this companion book to the popular McGrath Math series. Catchy speech bubbles accompany lively verse as teddies add single-digit and double-digit numbers from one to fifty.

The bears are back in this sequel to the popular TEDDY BEAR COUNTING. This time they take math to the next level, exploring graphing, estimation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and ordinal numbers. Playful rhymes and hands-on interaction make this book perfect for use with bear counters and other classroom manipulatives.

Bears tumble in! Count teddy bears from one to twelve, name their colors, and even form three primary shapes--square, circle, and triangle. Then count down to zero as the bears trot away. Back matter includes a review of the counting and math skills presented. Perfect for use with bear counters and other classroom manipulatives.
