Reviews / Votes
"Christopher Danielson's How Did You Count is an eye-opening, mind-opening way in to helping kids to see their own math intuition and math smarts, before they come to see math as calculation. An essential tool for opening up pathways towards understanding math differently, forkids, parents, and teachers."
- Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, senior writer Mpls.St.Paul Magazine
