How Do You Share With Your Friends?: A Math Book About Fractions, Decimals, & Percents by Lucy D. Hayes
informative
medium-paced
5.0
We use fractions and percents in our everyday lives without even realizing it. We use fractions to tell time, saying "half an hour". We use decimals to calculate money when we buy or sell something. We can even use these math skills to divide up the work between friends, cut up slices of cake to share, or run a lemonade stand and split the profits.
I really liked how this book makes math simple and fun. There are so many everyday scenarios where we need to use fractions or decimals, and we can even use them interchangeably for the same amounts. Some of the examples are hilarious as the characters have to do their chores, or clean up the kitchen, or eat a pizza. If they only do half the chores, or eat 1/4 of the pizza, they are using their math skills!
This is such a fun book! I love the cute illustrations and funny characters. The information is clearly explained step by step in a playful way that makes it memorable.
