Customer Reviews

This is a perfect book to introduce graphing concepts!

Do you have a child or math student who has a difficult time understanding simple mathematical concepts? Or perhaps you're interested in introducing them early. "Pie Graphs" is a bright, cheery book with photographs of numerous children who help illustrate the concept of `how many' using graphs. Chapters include: (1) Circles Are Wholes (shows how a circle stands for an entire group) (2) Making a Pie Graph (shows how parts compare to the whole, comparisons of dissimilar groups) (3) Favorite Foods (uses pizza and other foods to show how to make graphs and make comparisons) (4) Spending Time and Money (graphing time spent in and out of school and how much money is saved or spent) (5) How You Spend Your Day (this section prompts the student to develop an individualized graph) It isn't easy to prompt a reluctant child to sit down, open a book and try to learn something of low interest, or in some cases, something they are a tad fearful of. I think the presentation of this book is excellent. It can be used as early as Kindergarten as a read aloud book or is perfect for the homeschool/classroom teacher to assist the student in grades 3-5 in meeting their number and operations standards. In the back of the book is a simple glossary, index and recommended book and internet sites, including FactHound. Graphing concepts can be simple and fun if you tag along with this group and learn right along with them!
