Reviews
SLJ Review of Math Adventures
Everyday family math situations fill this series. Children notice the various shapes among the kites at the park or check the clock while getting ready for a family trip.
Characters have a range of skin tones, hair textures, and culturally diverse names; some also use medical devices like hearing aids or leg braces. Back matter includes a review section that encourages readers to apply the skills presented in the story and a picture glossary to support reading comprehension.
FactSurfer offers links to additional online resources such as Wonderopolis or PBS Learning that extend exploration of each topic. There are also tips for parents and teachers at the beginning of each book.
VERDICT: Welcoming illustrations show children joyfully putting math skills to use in this introductory series for very young learners.
