I purchased this book for my 6th grade math class. We were covering scale and ratios and I thought this book would help with understanding. When I read the story to the class, they were extremely eager to see each scale creation. The class thoroughly enjoyed the book and there was no doubt about what increase and decrease in scale meant!
This book works great for my 7th and 8th grade classes. The kids love the story and it was the perfect first time for them to practice scale factor.
I ordered this book to use with my 7th grade math class on scale factor. They loved it. I found a worksheet that corresponded with it online.
