Make clever groups before you start —
Then add them in a way that’s smart!

Consider it or not, math doesn’t have to be a torture device teachers use to punish their students. In truth, with a few simple tricks, math can change into–dare we say it?–fun! Greg Tang, author of the popular The Grapes of Math, bestows his considerable wisdom on a quite younger audience (ages 5 to 8) with Math for All Seasons. This collection of rhyming math puzzles encourages kids to think through problems, moderately than relying on memorization and formulas. Each of illustrator Harry Briggs’s computer-generated, color-saturated spreads features seasonal treasures such as clusters of tulips or spikes of icicles. Readers study the verse and picture, strategizing and on the lookout for patterns in order to add up the objects without counting one after the other. Soon, their eyes and minds will open to imagine many ways of problem solving, not just the obvious ones. Solutions and explanations are provided at the back of the book. (Ages 5 to 8) –Emilie Coulter
