The concepts of fractions are presented and illustrated so joyfully that my kindergarten-age child couldn't wait to read it a second time.She learned all the concepts in the book effortlessly. Where were books like these when we were growing up?My eleven-year old got a big kick out of the illustrations, too. Very engaging and entertaining. I plan to order more of Loreen Leedy's books.
I would highly recommend this book to those teachers teaching children who are interested in math. This book illustrates that math does not always have to be a difficult task, and that there is a lot of fun ways in which young children can have fun learning fractions, and other aspects of math.
I tutor ESL and am working on math with a 4th grade intermediate-level English Language Learner. She "hates" math but loves books. From the get-go, she asked what the word "fraction" and the word "action" meant, so we had a lot to cover. By the end, she loved this book and asked to take it home. The story is almost comic-book style with paneled pictures. Every few pages there is a math problem which felt more like an action-item to do (so it was great for tutoring/teaching). My student laughed during the book and I was so glad to find a way to teach math to my bookworm student in a fun way that actually taught her fractions in a way she didn't immediately resist.
My first grader loved this book. It reinforced fraction concepts she's learning at school in a fun, non-worksheet way. There are plenty of examples of different fraction sizes all in one book, which I really appreciated. We read 1-2 chapters at a time and finished the book over several days so that she wouldn't get tired of it. The reading level is 2.1, so some first graders and many second graders can read it themselves. My daughter loved reading it to me.
