This book is about a young bi-racial little girl who loves math, that everything she sees around her is math to her! She sees math at the playground, at art museums and even at the dinner table, but some people find it odd how she sees that and why she is so passionate about math. She tries different things at her school such as art or music but nothing excites her like math does. This is a great book to read-aloud to students. It has many beautiful pictures included as well as math concepts written in it; basic polygons with examples. It shows students that they can be passionate in anything because we are all different and view the world differently. I would take parts of the book to introduce a concept such as basic polygons or fractals. It shows pictures and examples of them in the book which is what I love about it.

I really liked the illustrations in this book, providing representation in terms of gender and race, which children's books definitely need. The books effectively shows throughout that math is all around us. I appreciated this, especially because math can feel so overwhelming at times. I wish there had been more mathematical applications throughout the story, but perhaps that was not the goal of the book, and that is perfectly fine. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Such a fun, delightful book about math, and those who enjoy it! Featuring a mix-raced little girl who enjoys numbers and finds them in everything she does. A perfect read for young children to engage them in the idea that math is fun!

I rated this book at 4 stars -- the average of the 5 stars I would give it for the illustrations and the 3 stars for the story. The illustrations are charming and consistent, with a color palette similar to those of the Olivia books -- lots of bright splashes of red, yellow, and orange on an otherwise muted background. I also love that the family depicted is mixed race, with no mention of that in the story because it has no bearing on it.The story itself is about a little girl takes note of all the passions the people around her have, including her father, mother, brother, and schoolmates. She then explains her love of math and gives examples of seeing it in the world all around her. I should love this story, because I like math and science and I want more girls to learn to love those things at an early age. But the way it's told somehow feels a little sterile to me, such that it doesn't rise up to the level of the illustrations. Overall, though, I'm glad that this book exists and I'm glad to have read it. I have yet to read a picture book focused on math. There are many great STEM books, science books, fairy stories, books about art, etc but I can’t think of a book focused solely on math. Thanks to Miguel Tanco and Tundra Books, Count on Me hits shelves this spring. In the story a little girl has tried all of the different activities offered at her school. She has tried sports and arts endeavours but nothing she tries are right for her, except for math. Her mind sees math all around her, in nature, on the playground, even at the dinner table. Math is all around and it’s how she sees the world which can be hard to understand. It’s so refreshing to have a story for all those readers who see the world a little differently. To see themselves and their passions reflected back to them and to know they are not alone in their love for math. The illustrations are so wonderful with a muted color palette to really let the story and the math shine through. My favourite part is the girl’s math notebook at the end. I must admit, there were some math concepts I was not familiar with in the story, but thanks to the math notebook at the end, I was given simple explanations for some really complex concepts. If you live in Ontario, Canada you may have heard the talk about low math scores across the province so Count on Me by Miguel Tanco is incredibly timely and a must have for Ontario classrooms and libraries sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Todo el mundo tiene una pasión. Para algunos, es la música. Para otros, es el arte. Para nuestra heroína son las matemáticas. Cuando mira el mundo, ve matemáticas en todas las cosas hermosas que la rodean: los círculos concéntricos que hace una piedra en un lago, la curva de un tobogán, las formas geométricas en el patio de recreo. Otros no entienden su pasión, pero a ella no le importa. Hay infinitas formas de ver el mundo. Y las matemáticas es uno de ellos. Este libro es una hermosa oda a algo vital pero raramente celebrado. A los ojos de esta niña, las matemáticas ocupan su lugar junto a la pintura, el dibujo y la música como una forma de reflexionar sobre la belleza de No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
