Book Synopsis
"Paco and the Giant Chili Plant" is a folktale from Mexico. It tells the story of a young Mexican boy, Paco. One day Paco puts his trust in an old man he meets on the way to market. He exchanges his family cow for five chili beans. Can you guess what might happen when he plants them back at home? Enjoy learning to count to five as Paco sets out on a journey to change his family's fortunes! Readers will count groups of up to 5 with Paco during his amazing adventure.
"Paco and the Giant Chili Plant" is the second of the three books in the first series of the CAMathories(TM) Folktale Mathematics(TM) curriculum (3-4 years old). Series 1: Count and Recite 1 to 5. This series helps readers to develop an awareness of the principle of 'order irrelevance' - we can count things in any order but the number stays the same. Two other books in the same series are: "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" (from Britain), "5 Little Monkeys Catching the Moon" (from China).
CAMathories(TM) Folktale Mathematics(TM) Series books are fun math-learning folktales designed, written, and peer-reviewed by renowned (current and previous) researchers and faculty members of mathematics and early years learning from the University of Cambridge.
