Age/ Grade level and How It Would Be Used: I think this book would be used for grades k-4 students. K-2 could use this book for grouping and simple addition. Grades 3-4 could use this book for grouping larger numbers and multiplication. Could also be used for scaffolding for any age group, whatever skip counting/ multiplication they can easily complete, moving up to 6s, 7s, 8s, ans 9s. This book could also be used for fluency practice for grades 3-4 with its rhyming patterns.
