About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-Each volume presents specific concepts. For example, Bank examines saving money and place values, Kitchen discusses fractions, and Halloween explains multiplication and division. Each spread provides a short, clear explanation and then gives an example (e.g., cutting a sandwich, counting candy, or waiting in line at an amusement park). A "Figure It Out" problem on every spread will challenge but not frustrate children (answers are in the back). The examples are clearly explained and include computational basics and problem solving. The color photos are decorative, but do little to help enhance students' understanding of the concepts. Readers who already have some knowledge of the topics but need further explanation and practice will get the most out of these titles. α(c) Copyright 2011.
