This is a wonderful book for use with first or second graders. It covers 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 in an engaging way that demonstrates realistic everyday uses for fractions that young children can relate to. Animals devide into two groups for a tug of war, three groups for a swimming race and four groups for a canoe race. A great introduction to fractions!
These books are great for my special education students. They may be 6-8 grade, but there math and reading skills are way below grade level. These books manage to introduce and reinforce grade level concepts at a level and pace all of my students can understand, and enjoy.
This is perfect for teaching fractions of a set! I use this book with my first graders every year and we act out this precious story. All of the animals in the book hail from Australia, and the book has a great message about teamwork, winning and losing.
My 5-year-old loves this story. It really teaches fractions -- exactly what it sets out to do. This book is great.
Super mentor text to help teach measurement.
Good book
