More M&M's Brand Chocolate Candies Math

We had the M & M & Hershey math books for my children over 10 years ago - every one of them is in advanced math now. They learned the basic concept of math from these wonderful books!

I saw this book in a local bookstore (for about twice the price!) and decided it would be a great stocking stuffer for our 6 year old son. He loves M & M's and he's just beginning to enter the world of math at school. He's an excellent reader, so he enjoys reading about M & M's and doing the math exercises in his head. This is a great book for children who might be a little intimidated by math ... it's a great way to introduce them to it and make it FUN!

More M & M's Math What an exciting math book for children! The bright cheery M & M's characters with their funny and interesting faces makes math fun and easy. I read this book to three boys and they had fun with the estimating, sorting by color, graphing by color, addition, subtracting, factoring, multiplication, problem solving, and division. Of course their favorite part was eating the M & M's but who could blame them. I would highly recommend this book to any grade school child, or an adult who loves M & M's

I recommend this book to parents of home schooled children and elementary teachers. It is very similar to the AIMS M & M activities that many of us educators have used. The following skills are addressed: sorting by color, bar graphing by color,addition, subtraction, multiplication using arrays ( 4 rows of 10),and division. A word of caution: the division is extremelysimple-- dividing your candy into two equal groups ("fair shares"). Don't buy the book if you're looking for something to help you teach the division process; you'll be disappointed.The author does a much better job with her presentation of multiplication, and she includes ordinal numbers at the end of the book. I gave a rating of 4 stars because I think the authorcould have included a few more concepts such as "square numbers."Kids love those! Overall, this is a fun book that uses anappealing, edible manipulative that kids who dislike math willget excited about!

Ok, teachers have some fun with your kids. Go grab a bag ofM & M's for each student and get this book and you are set. Ifyou read the M & M counting book, this is the next one to read to your class. This book is more advanced and covers estimation by having the students look at their M & M's and guess how many they have. Then, the book goes on to sorting by color and simple graphing of the different colors. After that, the book goes into factoring, multiplication, and division.This book would be a fun review for a 2nd-4th grader. The book is colorful, fun, and a great treat!
