Don\u2019t call these mathematicians \u201cbird brains\u201d \u2013 because they are busy solving problems. Cheeping and chattering, they count rocks, flowers, and how many steps it takes to reach the park. Once there, they play \u2013 and add. With three chicks swinging high into the air, and six more at the lowest vertex of the arc, there are nine in all, swooshing through the air \u2013 while one holds up a scorecard so we can keep count.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I like about this book:<\/em><\/span> This is a great resource for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents who are looking for a fun way to introduce the idea of addition. Each spread shows a different way to add up the chicks \u2013 and back matter explains the different ways that you can use to represent addition. Most of us are familiar with basic equations and tally marks, but this book includes number bonds, counting on fingers (or feathers, depending on your species), number lines, and more.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook <\/a>for a review of Pigeon Math<\/em><\/span> and some hands-on activities.<\/p>\n
