Library Books That Teach Math K & 1st Grade

[alanajo]

I was going through some old math work books I found at Mtn. Mission (sort of like Goodwill) and noticed that each section had library suggestions to go along with unit in the book. What a great thing for them to include! So, I thought I'd share those suggestions with you.
