We love this book on fractions!
Published by Mary S. , 2 years ago
My 8 and 6 year old enjoyed this book. Even though some of the fractions got a little complex for my 6 year old, he throughly enjoyed the activity part of the paper plate. It was a good intro for him and more in depth for my 8 yr old.
Great Jumping Off Place for Fractions!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book had several hands-on activities that were very useful as an introductory lesson for any students or remediation for students who are struggling with the concept of fractions. The activities are also very visual and worked well with the special education students with whom I used it. I easily thought of several extensions of the activities as well so I thought this book was well worth the money. It did proceed very quickly from one type of fraction example to another so I just broke up the activities over several days.
Fractions, a delicious but weighty concept
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Fraction Fun is a great picture book to introduce fractions to a classroom. David Adler explains the concept of fractions by using slices of a pizza pie. Then by engaging the reader into a simple and fun activity, called Pizza Math, the children learn how fractions can be more than, less than, and equal to each other. Next, the children learn how to use fractions in weight. The children are encouraged to weigh pennies, nickels, pencils, and tissues, all to determine their weight in fractions. Sound complicated? Not with Adler's colorful illustrations, clear directions and the simple, hands on activities. The children learn without much effort and have fun too.

A great book which covers both concepts and applications in a colorful yet simple format.But...international customers should think twice if they use metric measurement and currency systems!
A great fraction that's really 3 lessons in one.

In my third grade classroom, I used the first part of this colorful book to introduce fractions, both equivalent and adding fractions. They loved the hands-on Pizza Math! We also used the last half of the book to introduce a weighing activity and a discussion of money. The students gave it a definite thumbs up. As a teacher I found the colorful illustrations helpful to the students and appreciate the simple presentation of each concept.
