A lonely striped sock is looking for his other pair of sock. He searches the whole places from washer to laundry bag but he can't find a match of his pair. When he almost gives up on his search, he finally found one. However, thing does not seem to be smooth at all times, his mate is torn.This is a brilliant colored book coupled with snappy rhymes that teaches patterns, early math skill and problem solving skill. Suggested activities in this series will provide parents with ideas about simple math concepts. An entertaining short picture-book that will delight your toddler while trying to figure out the difference between the pair of colourful socks.
I used this book with my classroom. I really like the story, but the illustrations aren't as good as some of the other MathStart books.
Terrific book for little ones that focuses on the skill of matching - an early math concept! The only problem I had with it was that my 2-year old granddaughter so loved hearing it and matching the socks that I thought I needed to add some more variety for my sanity! She loves it! Transaction was very easy. Thank you!
I used this book for a teaching lesson in Math Pairs. It was awesome, and we graphed the socks which we made to look like the ones in the book. Good for the age level intended, which is PreK-Kindergarten.
Great book! I read this book to may kindergarten class to introduce sorting. The students loved the book. I like how the book compares two socks allowing for the reading to see how the socks are alike and different.
