The Grapes of Math (Concept Book)



The Grapes of Math is a vibrantly illustrated book full of math riddles. This book is an excellent way to show math problems in a visual format and get students excited about solving math riddles. Each page shows a different illustration and a matching riddle. By using the illustration ( a group of colorful fish, bunches of grapes, a family of snails) students will be able to solve the problem easier. The concept of this children’s book is to guide children to grouping items and then to multiply them, rather than add every individual item. This book is full of possible lessons and activities. The rhyming language and funny riddles makes it an enjoyable book to read and teaches several things along the way.
