Each Orange Had 8 Slices

Finally...a counting book! My 4 yr old is resisting learning to count. This book is great. He asks to read to it! The pictures are colorful and it can be used to teach basic math because there are questions on each page that involve either counting each item (42 quacks) or using addition or multiplication. I would buy more books like this!

Math and Fruit

This entertaining book is a good for young cildren to learn math. This book relates to math by giving math problams and then ask the child to answer them. This book can also help a child in their reading. Even for an 8th grader like myself it is very interesting.

Each Orange Had 8 Slices: A Counting Book

Cute counting book with colorful illustrations. Gives 3 sets of numbers and asks 3 questions in each "section." Better than average. I would recommend this one for K and 1st grade, as well as teachers and parents.

This book can be used with upper-elementary aged kids too!

This is a wonderful book to use in patterning, multiplication, and creative thinking! I use the book in my classroom in so many ways, with children up to third grade! We read it, then make up our own "Math Riddles" to put into our own class book. Example, Three fish had four fins each, with eight dots on each fin. How many fish? How many fins? How many dots altogether?
