Books in the Folktale Mathematics¿ series

"The Story of the Twin Sisters" is based on a folktale from India. It tells the story of Haldi and Adarak, twin sisters with very different approaches to helping their grandparents. The book will support children to learn to confidently recount numbers to five. They will understand that five objects will always remain five objects, no matter how they are organised, as Haldi journeys from her home to her grandparents' and back again."The Story of the Twin Sisters" is the first book in the second series (Series 2: Keeping count 1 to 5) of the CAMathoriesTM Folktale MathamaticsTM curriculum for children aged 3 - 4 years old. This series help readers to develop an awareness of the " stable order" principle - we always say the numbers in same stable order. The series also help students to further practice counting things that are not objects, such as actions or movement, and things that can not be seen, for example, sounds.

In this story, a kind fox helps a little cat who has nowhere to live. Some animals think their new little cat neighbour is fierce and plan a trap to catch her. They prepare a delicious feast for the kind fox and the little cat aiming to trick them. Practice counting to five as you learn how the two friends manage to scare off the other animals and enjoy the feast all to themselves!"The Kind Fox and the Little Cat" is the third of the three books in the second series of the CAMathories Folktale Mathematics¿ curriculum for children aged 3-4 years old. Series 2: Keeping Count 1 to 5. Two other books in the same series are: "The Story of the Twin Girls" (from India) and "The Story of the Leopard's Spots" (from Ghana, Africa). This series helps readers to develop an awareness of the "stable order" principle - we always say the same numbers in the same, stable order. The Series also help students to further practice counting things that are not objects, such as actions or movement, and things that cannot be seen such as sounds.CAMathories Company has published a series of story books that is part of a comprehensive CAMathories¿ Folktale Mathematics¿ curriculum that teaches mathematics in an enjoyable and engaging way using folktales from various parts of the world.

Count from 1 to 3 and learn the stable principle that it does not matter how the three objects are arranged, the number stays the same. "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is the first of the three books in the first series of the CAMathories¿ Folktale Mathematics¿ curriculum (3-4 years old). Series 1: Count and Recite 1 to 5. Two other books in the same series are: "Paco and the Giant Chili Plant" (from Mexico), and "5 Little Monkeys Catching the Moon" (from China). This series helps readers to develop an awareness of the principle of 'order irrelevance' - we can count things in any order but the number stays the same.CAMathories¿ Folktale Mathematics¿ Series books are fun math-learning folktales designed, written, and peer-reviewed by renowned (current and previous) researchers and faculty members of mathematics and early years learning from the University of Cambridge.

"Paco and the Giant Chili Plant" is a folktale from Mexico. It tells the story of a young Mexican boy, Paco. One day Paco puts his trust in an old man he meets on the way to market. He exchanges his family cow for five chili beans. Can you guess what might happen when he plants them back at home?
