This book is a great way to get students into math and excited about it. However, I feel like the author should have made one book for adding and subtracting and another book for multiplying and dividing. I feel like it is too much going on in the book. I had to reread the second half of the book myself to completely understand the multiplication and division that was being shown. Overall, this book is really a cute read and a fun way to learn math. The illustrations are bright and lively and the author does a great job with rhyming the words. I would recommend this book for grades 4-6. ( )

This book is a book about math and learning how to count and do simple math problems. Using m&m's students sort, add, subtract, multiply and divide. This is a great way for students to learn math while having a motivation and a fun way to practice. This book is for grades second and above.

This book flows very easily and it is fun to read, I can only imagine actually reading it with a classroom full of children. I feel as if they would enjoy this very much as they will get a treat at the end. While going through they are practicing their math skills but they probably would not realize this much because it is so interactive and seems like a game since the words rhyme. ( )

Overview-This book is a children's book of using M&M's to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. It goes about these in a fun rhyming way and has the students do as they say. It teaches these things as the book goes along an also has a review at the end.

Personal Reaction- I thought this was a great book for students to read when they are first beginning in the math process. It involves candy, rhyming, and fun so the children will be very attracted to learning this way.

Classroom Extension Ideas
1. The teacher can give each student 20 M&M's and as she reads the students can do the activities it says to do.

2. Another fun idea would be to have one student do this alone with the teacher if they struggle in math. This book would be a fun way to remember some of the basics.

Students can follow the rhyme in this book, and use M&M's to practice graphing, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and ordinal numbers. ( )
