Give Me Half!: Math Start - 2

Good book

Da parte da matemática até que o livro é legal, explica as frações de forma bem prática e lúdica. Porém os personagens passam a história toda brigando e concorrendo, são egoístas e mal educados. No final, desperdiçam toda a comida jogando tudo no lixo.

I bought this book because I remembered visiting the having it read to my class by the school librarian in the 90s. As a first grade teacher, I bring it out an read it when we start understanding 1/2 & 1/4 in the spring. The kids love it and want to read it constantly. They think it is sweet and funny. Struggling readers can often read it too because of the rhyming help. I see there is a lot of negative reviews, but characters in books are often not role models and it is a good chance to have a conversation. Must have for first grade classrooms! I love to see math & literacy together.

Used in my maths lesson.

Good read explains concepts well!

We adore these Math Start books as living books in our elementary education to teach math concepts! The physical application of concepts in the story helps me as an educator come up with better activities to apply new concepts! The illustrations are beautiful and the books are to the point and uncomplicated. Love these as a resource to introduce new units!
