Book Reviews of One Hundred Hungry Ants
Book Review: University Of Arizona Student
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this story at a day care I use to work at, and I have never received such positive feedback from children; especially at the end of the story. Every child and the end of the story was laughing and this book demonstrated that learning math to them was something enjoyable and amusing. I would highly recommend.Book Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun book and an entertaining story. It's also a good way to teach multiple ways to add to a number and multiple ways to represent a number (2 groups of 25 are equal to 5 groups of 20, both represent 100.) Really awesome book for elementary math teachers.Book Review: Great read aloud
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific book -- when you get into it, the words are almost automatic. The math just sort of sneaks in. Very fun to read.Book Review: math through litiracy
Summary: 4 Stars
This book not only teaches math (division and multiplication) it is really fun to read.
from the catchy rhyming song, to the illustrations showing how even the turtles were already taking food by the time the ants arranged and re-arranged themselves.
points to discuss with your child or students: why were the ants so late for the picnic? the answer can be a practical one - they wasted too much time rearranging themselves - or a mathematical one - one long line of 100 ants would get there faster than 10 lines of 10.
why were the ants so angry at the littelest ant?
also it's a good time to explain the characteristic of ants: they go in a single file and share everything.
the other book "a remainder of one" was better, because it was a solution to a problem rather than a creation of a problem

Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book to my two cousins, one who was age eight and the other six. The older one did not like the story very much, she thought she was alittle too old to be listening to a book about ants going to a picnic.However the younger one enjoyed the book, even though she did not understand the division. She enjoyed the way the book flowed, the pictures, the story and most of all the "hey and a hi dee hos". I think for younger readers this book is really fun and instructional.
