Numbers Count! Count Up to 9 is a story-coloring-activity book to help children learn the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. When the NUMBERS (0 - 9) adventure out to explore if it would be even more fun to be letters, they encounter lots of things to count along the way. Will the NUMBERS give up being numbers and join the letters? Read Numbers Count! Count Up to 9 to find out. Kids are sure to enjoy the silly, upbeat story; have fun coloring the black and white story pages; and learn even more by doing the activity pages provided. Dr. Marty Epstein, the author, became interested in math education when one of her children struggled in a math class in school. Although she was able to support both children when they encountered hiccups in their k-12 math education (one son went on to major in math in college and the other majored in physics), she worried other children might not be so fortunate. After translating her Harvard MBA and MS in psychology (Penn State) into a career in survey research and data analysis, Marty became so interested in how young children learn math and what can derail them that she earned a PhD in Math Education and is published in the field. She would like nothing more than to share what she's learned through crafting math books for budding mathematicians.

The pairs of numbers that add up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the stars of this fun math adventure! These addition pairs (e.g., 1 + 1 = 2...1 + 8 = 9; 2 + 7 = 9; 3 + 6 = 9; 4 + 5 = 9) are key math building blocks. (Some refer to this approach as part-part-whole, and it's a really useful way to think of numbers.) This book makes mastering them fun! In the story, The NUMBERS, their dog, and 8's pet spider run away to join the circus. To convince the ringmaster to hire them, each number puts on a show that highlights what pairs of numbers combine to create that number. Will some of them get hired? All of them? Will they join the circus? Hmmm...there's only one way to find out . Read Circus Fun! Add Up To 9. In addition to the fun math story, the book includes lots of coloring and practice pages to help little ones master their "add-up-to-nine" addition facts. Why doesn't the book include "add-up-to-10" addition facts? Because in our base-10 number system, the pairs of numbers that add to 10 are super important. They, therefore, have their own story: Ten Friends Save The Day: Add to 10. Find out more about these and other Smiling Dog(R) Math books at the www.SmilingDogMath.com website. The books are authored by Dr. Marty Epstein, MS psychology. PhD Math Ed.
