Domino Addition

by Lynette Long

Overview

This bold and colorful counting book shows young readers that math and addition can be fun and easy (when you use dominos). Black and white dominos make up each number on various bold backgrounds and each page gives the various properties of numbers zero to twelve. With a simple but imaginative approach, Lynette Long, has created a perfect classroom resource that teaches kids how to add up each dot on an individual domino as well as how to spot different number combinations. This bright and fun-filled introduction to basic addition will appeal to both eager and reluctant math students.

Editorial Reviews

omino Addition (, PLB, paper; March 1996; 32 pp.; 0-88106-878-0, PLB 0-88106-879-9, paper 0-88106-877-2): A math game and counting book that takes advantage of the intuitive understanding of addition that children gain from a set of dominoes. Long's first book starts with a blank black domino perched next to an equation, 0 + 0 = 0; on the opposite page are dominoes laid out in a circle, or zero. Each spread, with vibrant backgrounds to set off the black dominoes, follows that format; the surprise is in the symmetry of combinations that emerges—a glimpse of the wonder of numbers in a well-designed book.
