We’ve been looking for more nonfiction books to add to our
home library. We found Math for All Seasons, by Greg Tang, to be a fun way to add a book about math (pun
intended!). Cleverly written
rhyming math riddles and a companion visual page help young children (author recommendation for ages 5-8) with
problem solving. For children who
learn visually this book is especially fun. The illustrations are bright and clear, and the math
question in the riddle is written in a different color font than the rest of
the rhyme. As suggested by the title,
there are math riddles for the seasons and various holidays. This is a book that can be picked up
for a few minutes to solve a few riddles or to read in its entirety. I also think this book could serve as a
mentor text by encouraging children who enjoy math to write their own
riddles. We hope you have fun
solving these math riddles!
