Too much detail for Kdgn

Had hoped to use this in our outdoor learning time but it’s too involved for a big group of kids; would be much more suitable for homeschool or just parents with their own kids

VERY ORIGINAL & TOTALLY INSPIRING

I follow Dr. Deanna Pecaski-McLennan on social media and always inspired by her creativity and insights, so naturally I wanted to explore her newest creation. This book is a great value for its original content, simplistic design and fun photography. I’m looking forward to creating lesson plans with ideas from this book.

Well done Dr. McLennan and I look forward to your next Twitter post or follow-up to this publication!

I ordered this book to read to my 6 year old. He was so engaged the whole time. He really enjoyed it and so did I!
It’s been a regular “go-to” choice for my kids!

I definitely recommend!!!

Amazing Outdoor Math Learning Springboard

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 3, 2019

This book is truly inspiring. It is full of gorgeous, authentic, and real photographs of math in the outdoors and in real life. It truly helps to make math learning concrete, attainable and understandable in a way that no other book can for children. It takes real life images and helps children to really see the math that the images have within them.

This book is a great springboard for outdoor math learning. Read a few pages and go outside on a nature walk. See if you can find the same things or different things. What do you notice and wonder? This book fully supports the Ontario FDK inquiry based and play-based learning model. I highly recommend it and am so happy to have a copy to support my students in their learning.

Curiosity, nature, math 🙌🏼

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 10, 2020

This book is not what I anticipated, but I would recommend it and I am curious about what the other seasons’ versions include. I’ve added photos and a more detailed description. (For reference, I am a parent of an almost-5-year-old, not a teacher by profession)

First, this is a simple book designed to encourage thought. This is not a book of activities and supply lists, age groups or “math problems.” This is a book about getting outdoors in all weather, *paying attention*, and the mathematical connections to your observations. Because of that I think this book would be great for a variety of ages, and a nice encouragement to adults to simply notice nature that we might take for granted and jump start conversations with children. It’s very open-ended.

Second, the format of the book: the first half is like a child’s picture book- it shows an autumn photo, a brief thought, and an open ended question (NOT “how many leaves do you see?” type questions). There are 15 photos with accompanying text pages. The second half begins with an authors note to adults on how to use the book (thank you, Dr. Deanna!), followed by the same set of pictures in the first half but this time with more information for adults along with the math concepts that might be included in conversation. (Photos In this review show one picture and the accompanying explanation page)

I really appreciate the gentle style of this book. Math is everywhere. I think in using this, one could have science conversations as well.

Ps- I only docked one star for the formatting of the book. It seems it could look better for the price (I know nothing about publishing), but the content is there.

This is a beautiful, yet simple book that sets out to inspire curiosity and wonder in children in finding math all around them. She has written a series of math walk books for all seasons as well as additional settings children are likely to explore. Her pictures and simple questioning help me to get my own conversations started with my students.
