New Exhibit Coming in September!

Go Figure! transforms charming children’s books into a kids-sized world where children and adults delight in exploring math and books. The exhibit offers hands-on, play-filled experiences with simple math concepts, and areas for children and adults to read together. Each environment offers a unique setting in which the vital link between parent and child is supported without being prescriptive. Parental interest and involvement can foster a child’s natural curiosity and intuitive sense of math, making a difference in school and later in life.

The five books it utilizes are:

Arthur’s Pet Business, by Marc Brown

The Doorbell Rang, by Pat Hutchins

The Quilt, by Ann Jonas

Frog and Toad Are Friends: A Lost Button, by Arnold Lobel

Goldilocks and the Three Bears, by James Marshall

We hope to have these books for sale in our gift shop as well, so you can take these important math activities and concepts home with your child for future interactive teaching experiences.

Below are some pictures to give you an idea of what the exhibit will be like.

I am very excited about sharing these with my daughter! The Doorbell Rang has always been one of my favorite books to use when I teach.
