I am a student teacher in a 3rd grade classroom, and I have been using this to teach graphing. The students love it! I have taught three lessons over several days on pictographs, line graphs, and bar graphs. I have introduced each lesson with a few pages from this book. I highly recommend it! The photographs are wonderful, and it is a great example of using math in everyday life.

If you have a little one, work with children, or just love tigers, this is a must!!!! So many math concepts are taught using nonfiction so children can understand the connection easier. The reader follows the tiger from infancy through adulthood using all sorts of graphic organizers to understand things like number of species alive to different types of species, etc. The photos enable the learner to understand the information in an easy manner. And the photos themselves are rich and beautiful.

I learned quite a bit myself about tigers and so will you!

I'm a children's librarian establishing a small collection of picture books which teach math. These Animal Math books are a fantastic addition! Anna Whitehead Nagda and Cindy Bickel are geniuses, coupling the subject of baby animals with math concepts! I've bumped into a real math phobia among both parents and children, but these books are so visually charming that's immediately overcome. I recommend them to anyone, and happily place them beside A Lion's Share, A Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Math Curse.

I ordered this book for my 2nd grade class. This book is a great teaching tool! Each page has a different graph for discussion with details below. The right side tells the Tiger's story. I am very pleased.

I used Tiger Math to teach a math lesson to sixth graders. They loved the pictures and the story. This story was a lead into making a line plot. Sixth graders may think they are too cool for picture books, but mine loved the book and activity.
