...I hope that this Teacher’s Guide supports your own inquiry into children’s mathematics, and I hope that the images elicit brilliance from the children you do math with—wherever you and they may count."

"When I first began teaching, I was enamored with sophisticated techniques for solving simple problems. In the ensuing years, I have come to delight in and to celebrate the simple techniques that children devise for solving sophisticated problems...

"Math is not true because we tell kids it is true; math is true because they can find that truth for themselves. We can find these truths together."

"I see mathematics as an antidote. By nurturing children’s math minds, we resist and we teach them the value of the evidence provided by their eyes, ears, thoughts, and critical questions."

"We are living in times that ask us as citizens to ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears, and also our minds."

🎉 🎉 Congratulations to How Did You Count? and author Christopher Danielson 📚📚 on winning the 2026 Mathical Book Prize. We're thrilled for the math joy that How Did You Count? brings to children, teachers, and caregivers. ❤️ www.mathicalbooks.org/2026/02/2026...
