Overview
A paperback reissue of a bestselling title. In Sorting through Spring, the second title in the Math in Nature series, nature comes to life to help children grasp concepts of patterning, sorting, data management, and probability. As young readers journey into the natural world, they will discover that numbers, patterns, shapes - and much more! - can be found by observing everyday plants and animals. What if animals and plants knew math, just like us? Would flowers bloom in patterns? Would raindrops fall in rhythm? Would birds balance evenly on branches? In Sorting through Spring, the second title in the Math in Nature series, nature comes to life to help children grasp concepts of patterning, sorting, data management, and probability. AGES: 5 to 7 AUTHOR: Lizann Flatt has written many information books for children, including the Math in Nature series. A former editor of chickaDEE Magazine, her children's writing has won many honors, including a Distinguished Achievement Award from The Association of Educational Publishers.

This interactive, poetic, and artful picture book series is a non-intimidating and enticing way to introduce math to kids - they will laugh, use their imaginations, and learn through activities inspired by the books.
