In this follow-up to MATH FOR ALL SEASONS, Greg Tang underscores the importance of four basic rules in problem-solving.

 Rating:  - Great Math bookThis is a fun book for math. I teach 4th grade and my students love it. Great pictures! Rating: - A fun way to do mathLike all of Greg Tang's other math books, he takes math problems, sets them to rhyme, and gets your kids solving math problems.

My son who is in kindergarten loves to look at the pictures, and challenges himself to add the objects. We have lots of fun! Rating: - "Math Appeal" Appeals To Kids!One of my favourite books to read to my students is The Grapes of Math by Greg Tang. And now along with it, is Math Appeal, the sequel. Once again, what I love best about Tang's books is that it provides strategies for students and it shows them that thinking does not need to be linear -- that thinking outside the box shows creativity. Tang shows that there are different methods to an answer and that the thought process is just as important. As a teacher, I'm looking for higher level of thought from my ... Read More
