The cover of this book grabbed our attention first: Mathematickles,
poems by Betsy Franco
+ illustrations by Steven Salerno =
fun poems to tickle your funny bone
This book is filled with clever ways to use math words and
symbols to tell about changes that come with the seasons. One example we
enjoyed was: sphere + sphere +
sphere = snowman. Many of these
made us laugh out loud! Younger children may not know some of the math symbols,
but we enjoyed reading the words and figuring out the meanings. This book lends itself to coming up
with your own creative math problems and solutions. Enjoy!
