The Grizzly GazettePaperback, 24 December 2002

"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

The Grizzly Gazette is perfect for teaching percentage to second, third, and fourth graders. It's the last week of Camp Grizzly, and the campers are preparing to elect a mascot. Each day the Grizzly Gazette takes a poll to see who has the biggest percentage of the vote so far. Is it Sophie? Is it Daniel? Or could it be Corey, the new entry in the race? Corey's determined to do her best. But she's got to make up for lost time. Can she win out over Daniel and Sophie? No one will know for sure until the last vote is counted!

Kids will love the story and the illustrations by Steve Björkman. Parents and educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding the math concepts 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.
