Addition

by Joseph Midthun

What is addition, and how does it work? With the character “Addition” as their guide, readers will count ants, plant seeds, and pretend to be a shark, to find out! Through bright and colorful comic-book-style pages, kids will have fun discovering basic addition strategies, such as “finding the tens” and “making friendly numbers.” A list of additional resources and a helpful addition table are featured in the back of the book. Building Blocks of Mathematics is a fun series of mathematics books from World Book! Quirky characters introduce basic mathematics concepts in this six-volume series of books. Story problems help students with a primary reading level of 3 through 5 develop a fundamental understanding of mathematical operations and teach them techniques for solving real-life math problems. Designed in collaboration with elementary mathematics education experts, this series is appropriate for kids who are just beginning to learn math concepts, as well as older readers who can benefit from review and reinforcement.
