Kindergarten-Grade 4 – The author has used the format of his popular Words Are CATegorical books (Millbrook) to look at mathematical functions. Subtraction is explained in rhyming text and simple, silly cartoons with excellent examples that range from angry bulldogs, hornets, and bowling pins to pieces of birthday cake, sports time-outs, and stuffed animals. The text is actually a rap that would be fun for students to memorize and perform. The illustrations are colorful and attractive, and an explanation of the equals sign is included.
This is a math carnival like no other. At this carnival kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade learn problem solving, addition and subtraction, early logic, sorting and classifying, pattern recognition, equivalencies, multiplication and division and early 2D geometry. Five exciting and innovative activities use whimsical graphics to make math sense. Students can play at the snap clown circus and sort carnival cards into sets with Allison Elephant. At the Bubble Band's Show crazy band members teach kids about place value, addition and subtraction using bubbles.
The basics of addition and subtraction are presented in two-page explanations and demonstrations. Each book contains a detailed table of contents, a one-page index, and a table of subtraction and addition terms. Problems and examples are explained and profusely illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings. Unfortunately, there are no practice problems. These books would serve as quick references or beginning guides for teaching math, but it's unlikely that children will pick them up.
