Every day your child is acquiring skills needed for entry into the world beyond family and home. Arrival at school brings both new learning experiences and novel applications of what your child already knows. Math comprises a large part of the Kindergarten curriculum. This book provides repeated practice of essential math skills your child will encounter in school. Although some of the activities in this book may appear to be simplistic, their mastery is essential for your child’s success in Kindergarten math. In addition, the tasks in this book are also designed to strengthen your child’s ability to problem-solve, think critically, and become familiar with the academic language commonly used in the school setting.

Upon your child's completion of each activity, use the provided incentive chart with stickers to track progress and celebrate your child’s success.

Whether students need extra practice with grade-level skills or a head start on next year, Stick Kids® Workbooks offer engaging activities, games, and puzzles that help make learning lots of fun. Each book features full-color activities, a list of the skills, and an explanation of why those skills are important for development. Also included are helpful tips, an answer key, a handy tracking sheet, and appearances by the lovable Stick Kids!
