A city is a big, busy place with so much to see and do. There is math everywhere from the shapes used in the designs of buildings to how much water a large fountain might hold. In this book readers explore the math that exists in a large city using the 'see, think, and wonder' thinking routine. Colourful photos and an easy to access text invite both children and adults to explore the fun and excitement of carefully observing everyday objects in an urban area. This book can spark mathematical conversations with children, and be used as a guide for discovering the rich math that exists in the city with children before a walk outside. Photos can also be used without text to engage children in math talks as they observe and discuss what they see on each page. Educators will find this book to be an effective resource to inspire math talks within the classroom or before heading outside to play and explore. Often educators are asked to justify children's open-ended explorations outdoors. Reading City Math: See, Think and Wonder before heading outside will help empower children to notice and name the learning they are experiencing while studying the world around them. Families can use this book as a tool for helping inspire math thinking and conversation with children during quality reading time together or before heading outside to play and explore.
