With a concentration in elementary school math, I was instantly intrigued with this book! What a great way to intertwine math, reading and writing! I really like how math is mixed with language to teach students about how addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, geometry, and graphs relate with words as examples. For example:
pumpkin - seeds + face = jack-o'-lantern
autumn / wind = leaves ( - colors = winter)
These are just a couple of the many clever math problems with words that describe the different seasons. I think students would enjoy reading this book because it is funny and looks at math in a very different and interesting way!
