Children's Literature

Part of the "Hello Math Reader" series, this slim paperback tells about a boy thinking of ways he can spend the quarter he got from the tooth fairy. He learns about money and the different coin combination that make up a quarter. Following the story are some suggestions for adults who may want to build on the math concepts presented. What is great about this little book is that, once the story is over, readers can decide on their own how much more they want to "do" with the concepts. Even those readers who choose no follow-up activities will be enriched thanks to the role-modeling and real-life applications presented.
