Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4?In this picture book based on math principles, Kangaroo and his friends divide themselves into teams to compete in Field Day exercises. Readers will easily follow the concept of fractions when the 12 campers divide into 2 teams of 6 for tug-of-war, then 3 teams of 4 for a swimming relay race, and 4 teams of 3 for a canoe race. Finally, each camper is on his or her own for the long jump. O'Malley shows eagerness on the smiling faces of Kangaroo and his cheerful Australian animal buddies. Colorful scenes run across double-page spreads. Fractions are visualized both pictorially and in numerals to explain the concept. An appendix lists other books with the same focus as well as ideas for talking about fractions. An accessible and fun math story.?Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA

4.0 out of 5 stars Fractions and "Real Life" April 21, 2000
By Gladys
Format:Library Binding
This is a wonderful book for use with first or second graders. It covers 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 in an engaging way that demonstrates realistic everyday uses for fractions that young children can relate to. Animals devide into two groups for a tug of war, three groups for a swimming race and four groups for a canoe race. A great introduction to fractions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series especially for struggling learners April 2, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These books are great for my special education students. They may be 6-8 grade, but there math and reading skills are way below grade level. These books manage to introduce and reinforce grade level concepts at a level and pace all of my students can understand, and enjoy.
