review 1: My first grader absolutely loved this book. It’s fun and puts math in a practical, real-world context. It has different levels of problems, so you can start simple for even preschoolers. My son sometimes needed help with the big kid category problems but it was great to see the moment when it clicked for him. I kept pencil and paper on hand so we could write out the problems when a little more explanation was necessary. We read typical books every night too, but honestly he would much rather do this. My third grader enjoyed it too, but the problems were usually too simple for him, although occasionally he found a big kids problem challenging. You’ll recognize the illustrator if your kids have read the My Weird School books. We're moving on to Bedtime Ma... moreth 2!
review 2: I didn't actually read the whole book, but I did want to pass along the title for those of you with young children who might be interested in it. Check it out of your library and read the introduction and look at a few sample questions. I thought the concept of helping children to become more mathematically literate was a great idea, and the intro has good suggestions. I didn't love a lot of the problems, but they do give you a good idea on how to set up your own questions teaching children to look for patterns, add, subtract and play around with numbers so that they enjoy them and are not intimidated. less
