Amanda Bean's Amazing Dream: A Mathematical StoryAmanda loves to count. Her friends even call her Bean Counter because she sees everything as a counting challenge. Amanda loves to count so much that she can't see the sense in learning to multiply - in spite of the urgings of her parents and teachers, who try to explain how learning to multiply will make the counting process even easier!
