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.
The bright, gummy-like teddy bears that appeared in Teddy Bear Counting and Teddy Bear Math return to explore math skills that readers might encounter in school. A rhyming song based on the "Patty-cake, Patty-cake" nursery rhyme incorporates counting, addition, and subtraction: "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, / pat your head./ Are there fewer/ yellow or red" Nihoff works familiar aspects of the school day into the digital illustrations, including studying math and science, playing at recess and in phys ed, and sitting on the run ("Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,/ touch the floor./ Which group of bears has just four"), while the bears tumble, celebrate, and dress up in costumes fora theatrical production. Young readers should find it easy yet gratifying to count the chunky, colorful bears.
