Each page has a picture and says something like 1+1=7?
I show the page to my students to see if they can figure out what in the picture would add up to be seven. Then we look at the next page for the answer. For example, one triangle + one square = 7 sides! My first graders LOVE this book and it encourages higher level thinking. Once we have finished reading the book students make their own pages and we put them into a class book. I have already created the class book pages for you. Just click the picture to download your copy!
Looks fun!

I'm so glad I read this the other day because both my first graders AND second graders just took math tests and I don't really think it's a good idea to start a new unit just to end it in 2 and a half days... so I am totally doing this tomorrow. Thank you!!
