The Mayans were one of the great Civilizations in Ancient America. They mastered acoustics, calendars, and math. This book celebrates the things that defined their culture in their base number, 20.
Counting with the Mayans gives the counting symbols for the numbers from 0 to 20, the base of the Mayan number system. Then each page gives a fact on Mayan culture with a picture counting from 0 to 20 and a short but limited explanation of the picture and number. At the end of the book was an excellent list of additional readings based on reader's age and reading level plus a bibliography where the facts were found that were included in the text. This is not a typical counting book, which the title suggested. It was interesting as far as it went.
