Elevator MagicPaperback, 1 September 1997

"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

Elevator Magic is perfect for teaching subtraction to first through third graders! When the elevator goes down, the subtraction starts, and so does the magic. Ben sees crazy things every time the door opens. Ride along as he subtracts his way down to the lobby, and decide for yourself if it's elevator magic.

Kids will love the story and the funny illustrations. Parents and educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding comparisons a breeze--as well as the concrete examples of how math works. The book contains activities for adults to do with kids to extend math into their own lives.
