Get ready to create and count in this exciting introduction to math! MathArts is an innovative approach that uses creative art projects to introduce preschoolers to early math concepts. Each of the more than 100 hands-on projects is designed to help children discover essential math skills through a creative process unique to every individual. Math concepts include one-to-one correspondence, matching, sorting, grouping, classifying, opposites, number recognition, number values, and counting. This well-organized book provides both teachers and parents with a diverse range of activities for making math both fun and fascinating. The possibilities are endless!

MaryAnn F. Kohl is the award-winning author of more than 20 books, including Discovering Great Artists, Science Arts, Scribble Art, Storybook Art, Mudworks, and Making Make-Believe. Her philosophy, "It's the process, not the product," guides her writing as she provides open-ended art activities for young children. MaryAnn's activities focus on the experience of art, not the final product a child creates. Cindy Gainer is an award-winning author and illustrator whose books include I'm Like You, You're Like Me and, with Kohl, Good Earth Art.
