The Action of Subtraction (Math Is Categorical) 2 reviews
Brian P. Cleary
First Avenue Editions, 2008
A Smart and Funny Way to Introduce the Concept of Subtraction to Children
How do I love the "CATegorical" series by Brian P. Cleary? I could add up the ways for you, but this particular book is about subtraction . . . and it's a hoot!
What is so delightful about "The Action of Subtraction" is that it presents a mathematical concept to children with both uproarious verse and witty illustrations; these work together to bring the dreariness of math into the light in ...

Excellent supplement to in-the-class lessons
This workbook has been thoroughly enjoyed by my 6-year old twins.

It is a great supplement to what they are learning, and they can spend as little as 5 minutes or up to 1 hour solving the problems. It is easy to take along for waits at the doctor's ...

The dot and the line;: A romance in lower mathematics26 reviews
Norton Juster
Random House, 1963
Great, believe it or not, for high school kids
Norton Juster wove more than puns and visual gags into this short book. Not to take an ounce away from those fantastic double entendres ("drawn and on edge").
There are references to social commentary "they all look the same anyhow," "freedom is not a license for anarchy," "why don't you find a nice line and settle down." There is amazing (for kids) vocabulary: quintessence, vector, potent, ...

Smushy Bus, The4 reviews
Leslie Helakoski
Millbrook Press, 2002
A zany title
There's no room for the 12 first graders on the bus ? they'll have to divide themselves into groups to get under each of its four seats. Math is the underlying lesson of The Smushy Bus, a zany title in which a too-full bus must be appropriately packed by its driver.

Two plus Two is Not Five
This book was so helpful to me at at time when my child was failing timed math tests at age 7- big F's on his papers- he started calling himself stupid and saying he was "bad in math." I was told to do more games and flash cards- but the systematic program and tricks in this book were really helpful. I thought this author amazing- she personally corresponded to me during a difficult time. I ...

Read it Backwards
I read this book to my 4-year old grandson and he asked me to read it backwards so that they (the monsters) could win. James delighted in the Monsters getting back into the game rather than leaving it.

Addition & Subtraction (Kid-Friendly Computation)1 review
Sarah Morgan
Zephyr Press, 2005
At Last, Visual Math!
I bought this book to use in my classroom and found it to be a life-saver for my visual learners. Many of them struggle with math concepts until they can see something concrete and visual. I like the way the author provides strategies for all the learning styles of students. It has many reproducible black line masters to use at home or in the classroom.
