Have you read Counting on Fall? The author & illustrator share fall events (squirrels gathering acorns, geese flying south, leaves falling...) and students are challenged to identify groups of 10, count by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s & many more counting tasks. @nctm.org @mathedleaders.bsky.social #math+lit
