Go, Fractions! (All Aboard Math Reader)1 review
Judith Stamper

Grosset & Dunlap, 2003

Good book, small flaw

My kids (age 5 and 7) love to read this book. The 7-year-old is starting to understand fractions, and both enjoy the story, as do I. The example of cutting oranges is one you can do at home to show that 1/2 is bigger than 1/4, and 2 fourths = 1 half. It's a bit annoying to me that they messed up ...

A Remainder of One6 reviews
Elinor J Pinczes

Houghton Mifflin, 1995

It can be read again and again

+ Good introduction to division

I read this book to my seven year old nephew and he loved it. He wants me to read the book to him everytime I see him! He even asked if he could take it to school with him. I thought that the way it was worded made it enjoyable for me as much as it was for him. I'm not sure that he totally ...

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2005

Lesson Kickoff!

+ Mummy Math
+ math fun

I used this book for two separate lesson plans. I made a game board and added game cards based on the book. This quickly became an engaging way to count faces, vertices, and edges. I also used it in 7th grade social studies to add questions about history. BONUS: my 13 yr. old and 10 yr. old ...

This is a wonderful book to use to teach the concept of sorting (why objects are grouped together in a particular way).

One Of His Favorites

+ A great book!
+ Jadzia66's - from Epinions.com

I bought this book for my 5 year old and he absolutely loves it. It's one of the few he has actually read over and over again. Some of the early reader books tend to bore him, but he (and I!) find this one very entertaining.

Follow the Money!1 review
Loreen Leedy

Holiday House, 2003

Ever think about where a quarter travels?

A clever look at money and where it might travel throughout its life. Mostly we follow a quarter as it gets minted, sent to a bank, then travels throughout a city (from a grocery store to a parking meter to a garden center) and finally back to the bank. Math is included throughout the book, and ...
