1+1=5: and Other Unlikely Additions

LOVE this book - perfect for classroom use, yes, but also A LOT of fun at home. GREAT extension activities on author's website, too.

It's a very creative concept. My first graders came up with their own equations and had a blast doing it!!

I ordered this book for my first grade classroom. I love to incorporate books into math instruction and this book is perfect for that! Recommend!

I used this book for one of my lesson to hook my students and get them thinking about math in a different way. Brilliantly written!!

My first graders loved it. It fit nicely with our current focus on addition.

I bought this book for a nine-year old greatgrandson. I thought it was imaginative and very cleverly illustrated. It will help make him umnderstand that things are not always as they seem.

Love this book! Great use of adding "like things".

Bought this book for a friend's children for Christmas after attending an award luncheon for the author. The book is creative and gets children thinking outside the box--using imagination and making basic math a fun and creative process. The child recipients of the book LOVED it! And so, child-tested, I give it a 5 star rating.
