Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

I have mixed feelings about this book. The illustrations in the book are great, and I appreciate what the text is trying to do, but I feel by the time we understand all the concepts covered in the book, the kids will be too old to enjoy the pictures. Also, if they get the fractions but aren't quite there with the decimals as we are at our house, it can be a bit of a tough read with the light hearted illustrations belying the tougher content. I think it will be a good resource, but certainly not a stand alone.

I like this. got it today, fast shipping. my daughter is a little past this level as far as understanding fractions and percents, but the cute story and colorful pictures make this worthy as a keep-around instruction book to help tie in the 3 ideas together. because it is colorful and fun I know we will refer to it often to help cement the 3 ideas together in her mind. it's a good introduction to decimals after dwelling on fractions and percents for a while now. if your child is jusssstttt beginning to be ready for either one or all of fractions, decimals, and/or percents, I would recommend this book as a fun introduction.

Good book for a read aloud. It also turned out to be a great lesson as well.

This book was great with myAGP math class! We read it twice and then worked on writing our own version!

I expected something different. this is a cute book, however did not keep my 7th grader interested as it seems quite young. 7th grade in Michigan is when they learn this stuff.

I used this as a springboard for teaching 7th grade math. It helps clarify and create visuals how the same amount is represented in three different ways.

The visuals helped provide depth of meaning for the students to make math connections. The book also provided a resource tool that everyone could use.

I just wanted a book that had to do with the lessons I was teaching in math. I hope to read it to my 6th graders.

Good but more of a story book, not that many exercises in them. Good to learn the basic reasoning of fractions.
