In the guise of a tale about a jar, the father-son authors illustrate the amplitude of multiplication. For more advanced students, an afterword provides a textual explanation of factorials. The book is a stunning visualization of concepts. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Students might enjoy making their own chart of objects and numbers as they read about islands, walled kingdoms, etc. Learners may want to try a copy change strategy with another mathematical operation. Parents especially could develop the pattern of addition to do with their children. ESL students will find opportunities to develop vocabulary through the object-filled illustrations. Teachers may want to collect a text set of Anno books and generate a list of typical characteristics as a strategy to practice making generalizations. |
