Ehhh. I get what it's trying to go for. Math is expansive - a huge cultural thing that encompasses so many activities and tools and practices and problems. But this just comes across as vague. Math is eveeeryyyythiiingggg. I feel like a kid would be like, “uh okay”.
That said, we don't have books that are like “What is literacy?”/”What is reading?” Which would also be hard. I mean, maybe we do have those books. But they can't possibly be any more successful in conveying it?
