Summary: Teach To The Standards Using Fun Extension Activities!
Review:
"Irresistable 123's" -- like Novelli's companion book, "Irresistable ABC's" -- is a collection of ideas from classroom teachers all over the United States. The activities meet the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Standards for math, which means that ALL of the math strands are addressed if you use a variety of the activities found in this book.
Like Novelli's ABC's book, "Irresistable 123's" complements whatever math program(s) you are currently using in your classroom, and the activities are high-interest and appeal to children with all types of learning modalities.
This valuable book contains poems, learning centers activities, art projects, fun games, and many other projects and activities for expanding and extending your curriculum, including projects suitable to send home for "family math" type experiences.
You'll find fun activities for counting, numbers, skip counting, calendar, sorting and sequencing, matching, one-to-one correspondance, graphing, charting, shared language and writing, and a whole lot of other concepts you're already working with.
There are also computer extensions and tie-ins, plus literature-based activities for books you're already using, like "Five Little Monkeys," "Ten Black Dots," and many other favorite stories.
This book is highly recommended for use throughout the year for grades Pre-K through 2nd.
Happy Teaching!

Summary: An Irresistible Resource
Review: Joan Novelli has written another excellent early childhood book! I enjoy the easy-to-implement, age-appropriate activities as much as my Kindergarten students do. The book includes reproducibles for manipulatives, learning center ideas, and many literature connections. I especially like it because it doesn't just cover numeration and number sense. It includes patterning, graphing, and sorting, too. "Irresistible 1,2,3s" is not only an excellent hands-on math resource, it's a fun one!
