counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or
the order in which they were counted.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.C:
Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one
larger.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1:
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images,
drawings1, sounds (e.g., claps), and acting out situations, verbal
explanations, expressions, or equations.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.2:
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within
10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in
each category and sort the categories by count.1
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5:

Summary: A counting book that features an
African-American family shopping for food, preparing dinner, and sitting down
to eat. Lively read-aloud text paired with bright collage illustrations. This
book is about a family who went food shopping to prepare a meal together. At
the beginning of the book the numbers one to ten are used to represent the
ingredients the families were buying. The count begins with one grocery cart
and ends with ten hands helping to load the cart. After counting one through
ten the book starts counting again the numbers one to ten but this time working
together preparing the meal.
Rating:
I give this book a five stars rate, the book is excellent! It’s
colorful with great illustrations that capture the reader attention. The book
is multicultural, promotes family unity, rhyme and can be used to teach a
variety of math topics. The characters and illustrations are interesting and
compelling. The text allows for in-depth and adaptable conversations that can
relate directly to each child's personal human experience. The language seems
to invite students to discuss how their experience with food and family might
be similar or different to the experiences in the story. In my reading
with children, they were very excited to share how their own food and family
experiences take shape.
Classroom Ideas: This book covers many mathematical
concepts such as counting, number grouping, positive and negative integers,
addition, subtraction, pattern and sequences, even and odd numbers and more.
·
As a teacher of mathematics, I could easily
integrate this book into a variety of lesson plans, more specifically lesson
plans revolving around number order and counting.
·
I could do this book as a read aloud whole
group, and then break my students off into centers where they must create their
own unique math counting book.
·
This book is perfect to and can be adapted as a
dramatic play in class using plastic/silicon food.
·
I can use the book to make a grocery list
with the help of the students to have a feast in class.
·
To teach counting 1-10 and also rhyming words/
end sounds
·
Print and laminated the objects/foods
mentioned in the book. Have students add the items in the shopping cart while
am reading to practice their numerical skills.
·
Have students to create they own follow-up book
telling their own story about going shopping or helping cooking at home using
the numbers 1 to 10.
·
Students can use manipulative such as connecting
cubes, bear counters, chips to retell the story in groups or with a partner.
