The Door Bell Rang by Pat Hutchins


Here's a start for books about developing math thinking.  This one is great because it involves food, namely chocolate chip cookies and friends.  Who could resist!  A story map will help with identifying the problem and securing the solution, while the ratio charts will help children see the relationships among the numbers. Here's a fun video to give you some more ideas.

Some other Math related stories - How Big Is a Foot, by Rolf Myller is a great story for estimation and beginning measurement. A pod cast of a graphing lesson is available as well.








The M & M Counting Book by Barbara Barbieri McGrath give children a chance to graph results of examining the treats and comparing numbers. Here's a chart to get you started. You'll have to supply the yummies. A podcast is available for this as well.
