This playful picture book demonstrates key math concepts to children
in a merry story featuring the Arithmechicks, ten math-loving chicks.
The Arithmechicks are headed to the beach! Their good friend Mouse is
going to compete in a sandcastle contest. The chicks are excited to play
all sorts of beach games--including volleyball and surfing--as they
cheer on Mouse. Readers are invited to add and subtract as these
math-loving chicks also explore fact families--and to watch as Mouse,
along with their new friend Crab, create a magnificent sandcastle! Will
they win a prize?
This book includes a helpful glossary that defines fact families,
providing a playful introduction to essential math for young children
and their caregivers.
