Kids who think they hate math will love this book! October 3, 2004

Funny Fairy Tale Math is like slipping veggies into a child's dinner unseen.
Kids who think they hate math will be tantalized to see all the real-life applications of math in fairy tales, as well as real life applications. The 15 fairy tale stories include Rapunzel, Paul Bunyan, the Three Little Pigs, and the Three Billy Goats Gruff, as well as others.
Instead of just a story, though, children have a concept associated with each. For example, Rapunzel has great activities to reinforce subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers; Paul Bunyan reinforces multiplication facts; the Three Little Pigs reinforce perimeter and area; and the Three Billy Goats Gruff reinforce the math concept of money.
What a great resource for every classroom. This book shows that math can be great fun! The stories are reproducible and the accompanying word problems work with essential math concepts and meets the newest NCTM standards.
Betsy Franco has brought a great piece of fun to the teacher's professional book shelf.

I just love books that help you get kids to use more than one part of their brain for more multiple subjects simultaneously. Also, books like this show kids that math is everywhere, so there's no need for anxiety - it's just a part of life!
This book covers concepts from addition and subtraction to geometry, fractions to algebra; and in the table of contents it tells you after each of the 15 story names which concept it will cover. Each story is 2 pages long and has one or two worksheets at the end. There is also a brief section in the introduction offering ideas for extending the lessons. This book is a good, easy to use resource for a third or fourth grade classroom.
