Riassunto

“Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books.” --Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D., First Grade Teacher, Ashbrook School, Lumberton NJ

More or Less is perfect for teaching comparing numbers to first, second, and third graders. Eddie has a booth at the school fair, guessing people's ages. He hasn't guessed wrong yet, but if he does, he gets dunked. Can Eddie keep guessing right—and keep from getting wet? Comparing whole numbers and understanding what's more and what's less are a big part of Eddie's strategy, and an important math skill for young readers to learn.

Kids will love the story and the funny illustrations by David T. Wenzel. Parents and other educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding comparisons a breeze—as well as the concrete examples of how math works!
