What Do Carpenters Do?: Relate Addition and Subtraction to Length

Working with data is a foundational concept not only for mathematics, but also for understanding the world around us. Readers will gain exposure to principles of measurement, such as measuring length and using it to perform operations, while other narratives introduce concepts of money and time. Bright visuals help make math not only concrete, but also fun. Carpenters add and subtract lengths every day, and readers do the same as they learn about the many projects carpenters work on. This volume meets CCSS Math Standard 2.MD.B.5.
