Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Although you may assume that percentages, decimals, and fractions are difficult topics that could befuddle young readers, this book manages to make them all interesting and entertaining. The plot centers around a county fair where children will have the chance to improve their batting average in the arcade or split the winning prize equally with their buddies. Math teacher David Adler penned the book in reaction to his success in debunking the myth that fractions are difficult in the classroom.

"Fractions, Decimals, and Percents" is for children from the age of 6 to 9 years old or students in the second to fourth grade. However, keep in mind that before introducing this book, kids need to know how to count and perform basic arithmetic operations. The author links real-world experiences to those mathematical concepts using a county fair setting. Illustrations are nice for a book on math concepts: bright, fun, and clear. This book is interactive because within the text are games and problems for your child to be able to work through and solve and also includes the answers in the back of the book.
