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.
