Give me half! (MathStart) (edição 1997)

I thought the book would be good for the younger grades, maybe 2nd-4th grade. This book is very educational and teaches kids about the concept of fractions. This book is about 2 siblings splitting up food and chores equally. This book is very relatable to kids with siblings. The book also displays fairness by having the brother and sister get the exact same amount of food as one another. ( )

This book teaches students what a half is. I rate this book 3 stars because, although it was informative, it was very repetitive. I like how the author gave many real world examples of how you can divide things into halves. I would recommend this book for students that are fairly new to learning fractions but I would not recommend it for advanced students. ( )

This is a wonderful book that teaches math part-to-whole concepts. Children understand what is a half of DIFFERENT things. A half of a cupcake looks different from a half of 8 cookies. It provides for a deeper understanding of basics of fractions. I loved the illustrations. It is about a brother and a sister who are constantly trying to eat more that the other, despite parents' order to split everything in half. So they have to split pizza, cupcakes, juice, cookies, and clean up the mess afterwords. My kids enjoyed it! ( )

Introduces the concept of halves using a simple rhyming story about a brother and sister who do not want to share their food.
