"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
Treasure Map is perfect for teaching mapping to second, third, and
fourth graders. Matthew has found a treasure map, and soon the Elm
Street Kids' Club is off on a quest. The map guides them into a
wonderful, magical world, but it's the real-life math skills of
understanding distance, scale, direction, and symbols that will help
Matthew, Sheri, Meg, Danny, and Jed--with some assistance from Petey the
parrot--find a treasure hidden fifty years ago.
Kids will love the story and the funny illustrations by Tricia Tusa.
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! The book contains activities for adults to do with kids
to extend math into their own lives!
