1) Hardcover Book Math Fables by Scholastic Press. I purchased this book to give as a gift. I borrowed a copy from the library to see what I thought of it first and I believe it is a worthwhile purchase. The gentle rhymes present simple math concepts in an appealing way. Example: a group of 10 animals might be depicted in sets of 7 and 3, 5 and 5, and 8 and 2. I highly recommend it.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Math Fables by Scholastic Press. This is exactly what my 1st grader is learning in school. 3 and 7 makes 10, etc. Very cute and beautifully illustrated book.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Math Fables by Scholastic Press. Greg Tang´s books are splendid for children of many ages. As a former math professor, math tutor and grandmother, I have used Tang´s books with 5, 6, 7, and 10-year olds. They are teaching real mathematics, not just counting.
In "Math Fables" a young child understands a number as an amount but also as made up of other numbers. For example, the number 4 is seen as composed of 3 and 1 or 2 and 2. This is the beginning of good mathematics understanding.

¤ 5) Hardcover Book Math Fables by Scholastic Press. Math Fables is another great book by Greg Tang! I love the easy flow of this book, the vibrant illustrations that capture the students´ attention, but more so, I love the fact that it shows students that math is all around us. This book is ideal for the target age group as an introduction to a lesson or for pleasure reading. My students loved it! A must have for any primary teacher.¤ 6) Hardcover Book Math Fables by Scholastic Press. Greg Tang has built his career as an author and math missionary on the power of creative problem solving. Now, through winsome "fables" about concepts that are relevant to the very youngest math learners -- sharing, teamwork, etc. -- Greg encourages kids to see the basics of addition and subtraction in entirely new ways. Fresh, fun, and most of all, inspiring, MATH FABLES is perfect for launching young readers on the road to math success!
