Children's Counting Change
Counting Change is a wonderful book for children ages 5 to 7. This is a book that is appropriate for children who already understand the following concepts from the number core: one-to-one correspondence, and cardinality. I like this book because it introduces children to the concept of a new counting system; money, counting, adding, subtracting, and how it relates to everyday life. This book is about a boy who is having a yard sale in order to buy a video game that he wants, and his friend is helping him with all his sale transactions by introducing him to a new mathematical process. Children are also introduced to new vocabulary words such as: cent, change, coins, dime, dollar, equals, nickel, penny, quarter. Vocabulary words.
