Math for All Seasons: Mind-Stretching Math Riddles (Scholastic Bookshelf)

by Greg Tang

Harry Briggs (Illustrator)

Greg Tang follows up the fun, innovative, New York Times bestseller GRAPES OF MATH with his second uproariously punny math book -- this time with a theme of seasons and a focus on groups of fives.
Your challenge is to find the sum
Without counting one by one
Why not count? It's much too slow --
Adding is the way to go!
Make clever groups before you start --
Then add them in a way that's smart!
MATH FOR ALL SEASONS will challenge every kid -- and every parent -- to open their minds and solve problems in new and unexpected ways. By looking for patterns, symmetries, and familiar number combinations within eye-catching pictures, math will become easier, quicker, and more fun than anyone could have imagined!

Math for All Seasons is my first Greg Tang book, but I believe I will have to seek out a copy of the Grapes of Math. I love the full-color full page word problems that make my kiddo think. My second grade child truly thinks it is neat. I wouldn't hesitate to introduce thus book to a first grader either. We bought this on a school resource recommendation.
