Chloe Counting Jamaica by 3s

Suzan Johnson · 2020
93/100
👍 Worth It

Chloe and her family are vacationing in Jamaica, and skip counting by threes is the lens through which they explore it — Jamaican landscapes, food, and culture woven naturally into the math. Suzan Johnson, an elementary school media specialist, knows how young learners engage, and the travel narrative gives the counting purpose beyond drill. The series format (Florida by 2s, New York by 5s, Puerto Rico by 4s) shows a consistent vision for culturally grounded math learning. The honest caveat is that this is a small-press title with limited independent critical reviews, so quality assessment depends heavily on the reader's own look at the book. Reader responses have been positive, and the concept is sound — a gentle, culturally rich way to practice an early math skill.
