Book Reviews of One Hundred Hungry Ants
Book Review: My second grade class loved this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are learning different ways to skip count and find patterns in ways to get to 100. I read this to the students in class. They loved the book, the processing, and pictures. They were able to process and discuss the different patterns of the lines the 100 ants formed. Then they were able to relate this to coins in a dollar. They book is ideal for guided reading and discussion. It has rhythm, which is important for young children to recall concepts. It also it is a lot of fun. They enjoyed me reading to them, and then they wanted to hold the book and read it again to themselves. I highly recommend this book, for learning and just for fun reading.Book Review: One Hundred Hungry Ants
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was enjoyed by myself and the kids I read it to. The ants on their way to a picnic held our attention with anticipation of how the ants were going to form thier lines. The 100 ants changed formation several times and it shows of all the possibilites there are with using different rows with the same 100 ants. It's a good way to introduce higher numbers and can include lessons on adding, multiplying and even subtraction since the little guy took off in the end. I found very enjoyable because of the cute repitional phrase that allowed the kids to feel familar with this book very fast.Book Review: Fun, useful, and cleverly illustrated
Summary: 5 Stars
My kindergartener and I were talking about money, one day, and he volunteered that he'd learned that ten dimes make a dollar when his kindergarten teacher read "One Hundred Hungry Ants". This book has no discussion of money, but it teaches that 100 equals 2 times 50, 4 times 25, 5 times 20, and 10 times 10, just the right lesson for him at that time. The rhythm of the rhyming works pretty well, and the pictures are very clever, adding a lot of enjoyment to the story. This one is worth reading again and again, if that's the kind of child you have.Book Review: 100 Hungry Ants
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book to my son who is almost six years old. He loves bugs, so this book instantly got his attention! He enjoyed how the words rhymed and how the ants say, "A hey and a hi dee ho!". Of course he didn't get the concept of division, but we counted how the ants went from one row, to two rows, to fours rows, and so on. This book was a lot of fun to read and was really enjoyed by my son. It would be great for those a little older who are learning division.Book Review: Awesome and clever mathematics book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a college student working towards my Elementary Education degree, and a mom of two young children. I purchased this book while taking a mathematics course, so I could introduce some more advanced mathematics concepts to my four year old. He loves this book! It has a silly cute repetitive song, and teaches about division and multiplication. There is a list of other suggested reading material at the end of the book, and I'm going to get each one of them!
