Book Reviews of Funny & Fabulous Fraction Stories: 30 Reproducible Math Tales and Problems to Reinforce Important Fraction Skills

Book Review: These are funny and fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

Fractions can be a really hard concept for some children, they were for my son. This book, that I used this summer between 6th and 7th grade was a great help to get him clearer on this subject.

I love this series that uses humor to teach. It capures their attention and teaches while they are laughing. The book starts out very basic... although probably a bit more advanced than he was in third grade. It starts with *picturing fractions* or as its called *martha crunch, personal fractions trainer*

some examples of contents are:

great artists of the world draw fractions (recognizing fractions)
Louis Lewis, Fractional Private eye ( equivalent fractions)
Texarkana Bernstein, the worlds greatest adventurer and her trusty dog, woovis, episode 1 (adding and subtraction mixed numbers with like denominators)
Arnold guck: man or myth (ratio)

While the message is clearly math, the time spent doing it alot of fun. So the secondary message is positive also...That math need not be a drudge, that anything can be fun... that learning isn't something to be dreaded.

The pictures are fun and can be colored. The pages copied if you have multiple children. The answers are in the back. The book is very readable. I like that they use a combination of several fonts and boldface types..even within the same page. I think it makes it easier for my son to read and separate concepts and areas. Pencils are better than pens or marker as the pages are a bit thin but this book is a clear winner in every sense of the word.

Summary of Funny & Fabulous Fraction Stories: 30 Reproducible Math Tales and Problems to Reinforce Important Fraction Skills

Your students will love these hilarious reproducible stories and follow-up problems that reinforce essential fraction skills: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, decimals, ratios, and more. Great for reluctant math learners. For use with Grades 3-6.
