Reviews

In this book teachers will find a number of mathematical concepts covered. Internet sites and suggested read-aloud books accompany each chapter and a NCTM standards skill chart is included. The rhymes and chants are the most valuable part of the book because they provide an excellent teaching tool for these concepts. Included are a number of activity and puzzle pages. Teachers who use worksheets will add some of these to their collection. However, others offer minimal educational value. Activities with manipulatives would be more valuable than the simple worksheets. Nevertheless, the rhymes will be great connections for classroom and library activities. * Library Media Connection *
