smitty2567's review against another edition
4.0
Concept: Numbers
Target Audience: 1st-3rd Graders
Summary: Gummy bears help students learn their numbers. As the bears play, they make different shapes and groups that can help introduce children to addition, multiplication, and subtraction, as well as shapes and colors.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
The illustrations are bright and cheerful. Gummy bears are well-known and appealing shapes. This book looks like a fun book to read together. Children will enjoy counting all the bears and seeing that no matter how you move them around, there are always 12 bears, etc. It's also a colorful way to look at the different math topics in a visual way that makes it easy to see what's happening for young learners.
There is so much content going on in this book, it might be a little overwhelming -- there are colors and shapes and numbers and math.
Personal critique:
I would recommend this book to children who already like counting. I don't think it's the best introduction to numbers but if your student knows their numbers and is learning that very elementary number sense, this is probably a good book for them.
Illustrations:
Color Illustrations
Notable awards:
None.
Lesson Planning:
This book is a good way to take students used to counting onto addition and subtraction.
