Grab your hard hat and get ready to use math to learn all about buildings!

1 skyscraper … 2 houses … 3 castles—the world is full of buildings! Architects use math every day to design buildings. Join a real architect on an amazing adventure to recognize SHAPES, discover PATTERNS, COMPARE skyscraper sizes, and more. Then test your math skills with special You Can Do It challenges.

This brand-new series demonstrates how math skills can be applied to high-interest topics and careers in Coding, Building, Tracking Animals, and Space Exploration. The K-2 math concepts include counting 1-100 with basic addition and subtraction, using the power of 10, measuring, and simple geometry.
