Beginner Readers, Math, Arithmetic 

What do you do when you plan your birthday party? Do you order a big cake and have goodie bags for your friends? This engaging book prompts students to determine greater than, less than, or equal to quantities by looking at the number of friends invited versus the number of cupcakes, chairs, and party favors available at the party. Early readers will not only learn the importance of quantities, but each engaging photograph allows students to use their oral language skills to collaborate together to create a story about the birthday party in the book.About Shell Education Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world. - from Amzon
