lexi Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My kids love the "Let's Read and Find Out about Science" series. Is there anything for math that is similar? I've seen lists of living math books but I'm looking for a series that I can order as a set. It would be for Pre-K to K age. Are there any great series of living math picture books?

deerforest Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The MathStart series, which I think has series 1, 2, and 3. The LivingMath.net site has a bunch of other suggestions, but I think that's the most similar to the Read and Find Out science series. They're widely available on Amazon, but here's a website for them: http://mathstart.net/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsplaymath Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You might try asking a librarian and borrow the books before buying. I know a lot of people like the MathStart books, but I personally dislike many of them and would hate to find out something like that *after* buying a whole series. The series I do like are mostly out of print, I think. The Young Math Books series is probably the most similar to the Read and Find Out science books.

Farrar Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 There are a ton, but I wouldn't necessarily buy any of them, as mentioned above. If you have a good library system, they'll have many of them. I felt like MathStart was good when my kids were really little, but they're best for preK and kindy and after that I don't think you'll read them much. Everything Charlesbridge publishes for math is great. All the Anno books are great. The Animal Babies math series is really cute. I also love the Young Math and I Love Math series mentioned above. I Love Math is one of the few that can be worth buying. They're cheap OOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I'll second the Anno books. I picked up some used because the library didn't have them. Last night we read One Grain of Rice, by Rumi. Also, what about the Sir Cumference books (maybe those are one of the series I didn't recognize). Brian Cleary and Gregory Tang have funny, readable books on different math subjects. eta: reread your post, my rec.s are not what you are looking for I guess. Sorry!
