About this title

Synopsis

"Entertaining, goofy illustrations, quick reviews of equivalent and simplified fractions, and a few practice problems effectively round out this fun refresher." - Booklist Reviews

Math can be fun! Or so believe Sheep, Chicken, and Goat as they try to share a chocolate cake. Get your laughter on with this comic book that makes learning fractions super easy! For math fans and non-math fans ages 7 years and up.

Farmer Ed brings Sheep, Chicken, and Goat a chocolate cake. Delicious! But hold on; it’s not a circle or rectangle, like most cakes. Dividing this cake is going to be tricky. Luckily, Goat has the solution. If the cake is cut in half, Goat gets one half and Sheep and Chicken share the other half. Easy peasy, milk and cheesy! Or is there a better way?

As the third book in the 'Hilariously Simple Math' series, it combines the charm of a graphic novel with the format of a picture book.

Written by former math teacher and award-winning author Bill Wise, who contributed to Scholastic Math magazine for 10 years, this STEM-focused book is not only great for the classroom but also supports learning at home. With engaging illustrations, silly jokes, and lovable animal characters, it’s perfect for kids who love both math and animals.

The end papers feature a summary, and examples of the mathematical concepts presented, making this a valuable resource for both education and entertainment. This book is also available in Spanish as El problema del pastel. Fracciones equivalentes y simplificadas.

A hilarious comic that shows how much fun math can be. For math fans and non-math fans ages 7 years and up.
