---给5岁以上的小朋友推荐一套趣味数学原版书：Math Matters

   生活之中处处是数学，只要你愿意，你总能发现教育孩子的契机。

   今天给大家介绍的一套数学启蒙书是英文原版MATH MATTERS系列，国内目前还没有翻译出来。懂英文的家长可以陪孩子一起看，是孩子非常喜欢的一套书，每一本书的后面都有问题和相关动手游戏以及一些关于理解数学概念的可行性建议。

  《 山姆的运动鞋方块》 SAM'S SNEEAKER SQUARES

小山姆给邻居叔叔割草，可是为什么感觉这么累呢？怎么总也割不完呢？山姆心爱的自行车什么时候才能攒够钱呢？为什么给邻居阿姨家割草没觉得这么累呢？山姆想啊想啊，哥哥给出了个好主意，可是没等他细问，哥哥就被小伙伴们叫走了，留下山姆一个人思考，啊哈，有了......爱思考的山姆最终证明了邻居叔叔家的草坪比邻居阿姨家的要大很多，所以吗，他也就应该多收钱。这本书教会小朋友"面积"的概念，在不知不觉中，小朋友跟着一起思考,和主人公一起喜怒哀乐，而数学的种子也就这样萌芽了，说不定你还培养了一个未来的数学家呢。当然，除了数学面积的概念，孩子还学会了什么呢？答案靠你自己去领悟了。这也是为什么我特别喜欢这本书的一个原因。你猜到了吗？

  《搬来搬去的小鸡们》Chickens on the Move

 汤姆的爷爷送来几只小鸡，爷爷还给小鸡们修了个笼子，把它们放在哪里呢？放这里呆会儿，唉，不行，再换一个地方，咦，每次搬家，小鸡的房子都会变一个形状......不知不觉中，孩子们学会了“周长”的概念。

   读完故事，可以和孩子玩几个游戏，比如，找12个长条的物体，牙签或者蜡笔让孩子尝试着组合成不同的形状，每次都用12个，试着让孩子每次都记录下来自己摆过的形状，看看孩子有什么发现。或者让孩子画一个假想的房间，唯一的要求是必须是周长必须是48厘米。画完之后，再让孩子装饰一下并讲述他/她心目中的房间是什么样子的。
