“…The original language of the books was Korean, and the books translated into Turkish by the publishing house were used. According to Shih and Giorgis (2004), the books which focus on math and are written for the purpose of teaching math concepts also math skills contain mathematics. Hence, it is aimed that the children can create the targeted content directly in their minds.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">The study aims to analyze, in terms of content and process, the math talks between the mother and child during the shared book reading of the illustrated storybooks with math contents. The study group under the research is comprised of nine pairs of mother and child. The process of the study 18 videos which were recorded when two storybooks with math contents were read by the mothers. In the data collection process, each pair of mother and child together read two storybooks given to them in their home environment, and the entire process was video-recorded. Subsequently, interviews were held with mothers for identifying their views about supporting their children’s math skills. It was shown that the content of mother-child math talks in the home environment was mostly about the learning area of numbers and counting skills. It was a remarkable result that math concepts such as sorting/ranking and properties/features of objects were not in the contents of mother-child math talks. The results from interviews with mothers, it was inferred that the mothers viewed themselves as inadequate for talking to their children about math concepts, and performed the math talks mostly on the basic skills such as counting the numbers.</p>

“…They must also be capable communicators, creators, critical thinkers and collaborators (the "4Cs") (National Education Association, 2014). The use of picture books provide significant value in teaching and learning (Casey, Kersh and Young, 2004;Shih and Giorgis, 2004;Skoumpourdi and Mpakopoulou, 2011). Teaching with picture books is method that can be used in teaching and learning of mathematics in preschool (MOE, 2010: 47;MOE, 2016).…”

Learning through picture books is a method which is widely used in preschools to teach mathematics. However, the research findings on the benefits of using picture books in learning mathematics remain inconclusive. This study aimed to i) investigate the effects of a picture book entitled "What are the numbers?" (a picture book made up flora and fauna in Borneo) on early mathematics achievement (reading and writing numerals up to 20) and ii) to get feedback on how appropriate the use of "what are the numbers" from teachers and parents. The book consists elements of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creative thinking. The effects were measured by comparing the change in early mathematical ability of children in reading and writing numerals up to 20 by using the Rasch measurement model. The mean of the pre-test achievement was -1.99 logits and the mean of the post-test achievement was 1.75 logits which shows a difference of 3.74 logits. The effect size of the difference between the post-test and pre-test achievement was 1.4, which is considered large. Teachers and parents gave positive feedback on the use of the picture book. They commented that the picture book is able to attract children's attention, enhance their thinking skills and nurture creativity among children. In conclusion, the picture book based on the 4C approach enhanced early mathematics achievement of children.

“…Kanakkanak akan berimaginasi semasa karakter penyampaian cerita menyatakan masalah Matematik (Casey, 2004). Oleh itu, ilustrasi yang ringkas dan realistik perlu mengambil kira minat kanak-kanak (Shih & Giorgis, 2004;House & Rule, 2005;Skoumpourdi & Mpakopoulou, 2011).…”
