Sizing Up Winter

Book 3 in the Math in Nature Series

By Lizann Flatt & Ashley Barron

Sizing up Winter is a fantastic book about math in the natural world. It combines beautiful cut-paper collage images with fun activities. The animals, fish and birds are adorably interspersed with mini lessons on mass, basic measurement, counting, comparison, and basic calendar skills. Your young person will see these concepts in an enjoyable and more concrete way through a number of inventive activities.

It won’t feel like math at all. It will feel like interactive story time and may be just the thing to really strengthen measurement concepts in the mind of your young person. For instance, on the bird page, your child will measure the scale of cardinals and chickadees and the amount of space they take on bird feeders, all without any rulers. The illustrator uses scale pictures in an ingenious way to allow your child to accomplish the task just by looking at the pictures.

If you like Sizing Up Winter, be sure to look for the three other titles in this series; Counting on Fall, Sorting Through Spring, and Shaping Up Summer.
