Author: Jerry Pallotta
Illustrator: Rob Bolster
Recommended Grade Level: 1-3
Common Core Mathematics Standard:
1.NBT.C.4
Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
2.OA.A.1
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Common Core Standard for Mathematical Practice
CCSS.Math.Practice MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Summary: This book is a counting book that helps young mathematicians count to 100. It uses basic counting by ones as well as skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, 10’s and 20’s. It also includes some multiplication examples on how to get to 100. The book also contains division and addition problems, all totalling 100.
Rating: ***** I highly recommend this book for young mathematicians as it helps them find numerous ways to count to 100.
Classroom Ideas: This book can be used in a variety of ways and used with numerous math problems. It includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It shows plenty of different ways to get to 100. Students can use this to help them add any number(s) that they find throughout the classroom and help them add them together.
Hey Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI actually plan to look into this book. I struggle with providing different strategies and ways to present counting and addition within 100 by single didgits, skip counting and tens with my students. Some of them miss the concept because they only hear a number or see a visual. However, if they are shown something they are familiar with or expereincing they may be able to relate the information better. Based off your summary and the cover which shows numerous objects that my students are familiar with, I think this may be a good ready for my class.
Thanks for the idea,
Jeremy
